Comparison according to Metrics
| Image Scrambling: Higher compared to other techniques |
| Bit Plane: Not much since this is used along with Image scrambling |
| Cryptography: Higher compared to other techniques |
| Steganography: Higher compared to other techniques |
| Image Scrambling: More efficient in terms of small images |
| Bit Plane: Doesn’t matter since always used with Image scrambling |
| Cryptography: More efficient and used since a very long time |
| Steganography: More efficient compared to other techniques since protection is higher |
| Image Scrambling: Reliable but not as much as the latest technologies |
| Bit Plane: Not much when compared to other techniques |
| Cryptography: Reliable because of Security features embedded |
| Steganography: Reliable since it uses password for protection |
| Image Scrambling: Secures the image |
| Bit Plane: Not much since this is used along with Image scrambling |
| Cryptography: Higher for the embedded data |
| Steganography: Higher for the embedded data but then image is also password protected |
| Blockchain: Higher for the embedded data than the image |
