A Secured Technique for Image Data Hiding

In this paper, a new technique for hiding the data of images has been proposed. This method is invented to hide an image file entirely with in another image file keeping two considerations in mind which are Size and Degree of Security. At the source, the image which is to be hidden (target image) is encoded at the end of another image (cover image). Double layer security of the hidden image can be achieved (over the untrusted network) by; firstly, the starting point of encoding the image data is depended on the size of the images and it is stored within the encoded image at the end of its header information as a cipher text.; secondly, the target image is hidden behind the cover image by following our encrypted image hiding technique.
