Steganography is a technique allows a user to securely hide messages in a cover media and to extract hidden message from the same media. It can also be defined as the study of invisible communication that usually deals with the ways of hiding the existence of the communicated message. There is a large variety of steganography techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have respective strong and weak points. We would propose the combined concept of Cryptography and steganography with the use ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography).This is the hybrid approach to hide the data in encrypted form. The main focus of research is to encrypt the data with Asymmetric Cryptography and apply the steganography technique to hide encrypted data. Existing hybrid approach which uses RSA with steganography is suffering from big performance hit. Proposed approach would expected to achieve batter result mainly in terms of performance as compare to existing schemes.
