Nowadays in digital world, safeguarding information is an important phase in transmitting messages and doing trades. The increasing growth of computer networks has caused a lot of changes in life style, occupational activities and organizations. Thus, data security has been one of the essential issues in this area. By connecting a local network to global network, outsiders are likely to have access to the organizations’ data. One of the most important challenges about propagating information on internet is to assure inaccessibility of unauthorized people to sensitive information. Various solutions including restricting the use of internet, encoding the data and establishing security have been suggested. To fulfill the security requirements for a safe transaction, operations such as encoding, hiding, etc. are used. Today information is of great importance either in military area or in commercial one. Hence one of the basic needs is to maintain information for transmitting or storing them. Having access to coded information is not possible for unauthorized people and only those having password can decode and use them. Encoding the information is based on the knowledge related to that. On the one hand, hiding is also one of the effective techniques for keeping information since host information is clear and a hidden message may not be discovered. In this study, a new technique is presented for hiding information in encoded images which minimized the error of the previous techniques. In addition, previous techniques have never pointed out to noisy environments and one of the advantages of the introduced technique was to eliminate noise.
