ABSTRACT
Short text messages on WhatsApp often contain sensitiveinformation despite their brevity. This research implements RSA cryptography and LSB steganography to secure WhatsApp messages embedded in images. Five WhatsAppscreenshots were used as test data. The RSA algorithm (2048-bit) encrypts text messages, while LSB hides encrypted data in image pixels. Analysis includes encryption time, PSNR, and security assessment. Results show PSNR averaging 48.6 dB with encryption time of 152 ms per message. The RSA+LSBcombination provides dual-layer security suitable forprotecting short personal messages on messaging platforms.

ABSTRAK
Pesan teks pendek di WhatsApp sering mengandung informasisensitif meskipun singkat. Penelitian inimengimplementasikan kriptografi RSA dan steganografi LSB untuk mengamankan pesan WhatsApp dalam gambar. Limatangkapan layar WhatsApp digunakan sebagai data uji.Algoritma RSA (2048-bit) mengenkripsi pesan teks, sementara LSB menyembunyikan data terenkripsi dalampiksel gambar. Analisis meliputi waktu enkripsi, PSNR, dan penilaian keamanan. Hasil menunjukkan PSNR rata-rata 48,6 dB dengan waktu enkripsi 152 ms per pesan. KombinasiRSA+LSB memberikan keamanan berlapis yang cocok untukmelindungi pesan pribadi pendek di platform pesan.
