A method of data steganography will be proposed, this method will use simple operation to apply the process of data hiding and data extracting, it will be shown that using these operations will optimize the performance parameters values. The proposed method will use a simple way for message encoding-decoding to provide a necessary protection to LSB method. The proposed method will be implemented and compared with LSB method to show how the proposed method will enhance the values of MSE, PSNR, hiding time and extracting time. The proposed method will use bit plate from 1 (LSB) to 8 (MSB) to hide various messages (short and long messages) using various covering images, and it will be shown that even if use the MSB for data hiding the results will be acceptable.
