Abstract: Nowadays the development of technology and information is very rapid and fast. Anyone can easily access or send any data and information which creates a problem to improve the system. The hidden message technique called steganography is a technique that allows users to hide a message in another message. We can use steganography to protect confidential data or information. This study will discuss about spread spectrum and adaptive method on Temporary Instruction File Format (TIFF). By using these methods, we compare how many characters from each method can be inserted in to TIFF image. Analysis using PSNR and MSE are also presented in this study.
