Abstract

This paper proposes a novel steganographic method which uses Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) for hiding secret messages. The secret message is embedded in the QR Code. The QR Code carries a secret message, which is created by a GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), which is signed and encrypted by RSA keys.
