# **StegoAES: LSB Steganography with AES Encryption** 🔐
**StegoAES** is a Python-based image steganography tool that securely hides and retrieves AES-encrypted messages within images using the **Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique**. This method subtly modifies pixel values, making the changes imperceptible while ensuring robust data security.
🔹 **Combines cryptography and steganography for enhanced privacy**
🔹 **Uses OpenCV for image processing and PyCryptodome for AES encryption**
🔹 **Ideal for secure communication and watermarking**
## 🚀 Features
✅ **AES-256 Encryption**: Encrypts secret messages before embedding.
✅ **LSB Steganography**: Uses the least significant bit of pixel values.
✅ **User-Friendly CLI**: Simple command-line interface for encoding/decoding.
✅ **Works with PNG Images**: Ensures lossless data concealment.
