Abstract: Now-a-days, information security has a vital role in different applications of digital communications like medical, military, commerce etc., to conceal the secret data from unauthorized access. Steganography is the most eminent technique for providing information security with the help of a carrier file. The communication carrier can be of various formats like text, image, video etc. Among all these, digital images are the most common format due to high capacity and frequency of availability. In image steganography, the secret data is embedded into an inconspicuous carrier i.e., digital image is used as cover image to conceal the secret message which is known as stego image. Cryptography techniques are used to strengthen the security for the stego image. In this paper, a zigzag method has proposed for concealing patient’s secret information with RSA cryptography algorithm in a RGB medical cover image. The medical cover image is implemented on Nexys 2 1200E FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).
