Cryptography and steganography are two major key players for data security technique. Cryptography is use to perform encryption on the secrete message while steganography hides the secrete message in digital media, image in this regards. This paper employed these two techniques using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for the cryptography and Least Significant Bit (LSB) for the steganography. Combining the two algorithms ensured data integrity, data security, and flexibility. The changes in the secrete message carrier (Stego) is insignificant and is often not noticeable by the nicked eyes, thus this make the interception of the message often difficult by intruder
