Given the significant increase in cyber threats, ensuring data security has become increasingly challenging in the digital era. To improve data confidentiality and integrity, this study proposes a hybrid security strategy that combines cryptographic encryption with data masking. The proposed solution adds a layer of security by integrating the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique for data hiding with the RSA encryption algorithm, which ensures confidentiality. This combination notably reduces the risk of unauthorized access and decryption. Performance research illustrates the effectiveness of this method in protecting private information without affecting data storage and transmission. Throughout the experiment, the system has demonstrated its ability to withstand attacks.
