+This research work takes place into the field of information hiding, considerably developed
+these last two decades. The proposed method for 
+steganography considers digital images as covers, it belongs in the well investigated large category
+of spatial least significant bits (LSBs) replacement schemes.
+Let us recall that, in this LSBR category, a subset of all the LSBs of the cover image is modified 
+with a secret bit stream depending on: a secret key, the cover, and the message to embed.

 well designed statistical investigations, leading to known steganalysis methods~\cite{DBLP:journals/tsp/DumitrescuWW03,DBLP:conf/mmsec/FridrichGD01,Dumitrescu:2005:LSB:1073170.1073176}.
