Abstract
Information has become an inseparable part of human life. Some information that is considered important, such as state or company documents, require more security to ensure its confidentiality. One way of securing information is by hiding the information in certain media using steganography techniques. Steganography is a method of hiding information into other files to make it invisible. One of the most frequently used steganographic methods is Least Significant Bit (LSB).
In this study, the LSB method will be modified using DNA Encoding and Chargaff's Rule. Chargaff's Rule or complementary base pairing rule is used to construct a complementary strand. The modification of the LSB method using DNA encoding and Chargaff's Rule is expected to increase the security of the information.
The MSE test results show the average value of the LSB method is 0.000236368, while the average value for the DNA Encoding-based Steganography method is 0.000770917. The average PSNR value for the LSB method was 76.82 dB while the DNA Encoding-based Steganography method had an average value of 70.88 dB. The time of inserting and extracting messages using the Steganography method based on DNA Encoding is relatively longer than the LSB method because of its higher algorithmic complexity. The message security of the DNA Encoding-based Steganography method is better because there is encryption in the algorithm compared to the LSB method which does not have encryption.
