    Steganography

    Steganography is a technique for hiding secret messages within other non-secret files like images, audio, or video. It works by replacing bits of unused or meaningless data in the cover file with bits of the hidden message. The result is a stego-file that appears identical to the original cover file, concealing the fact that it contains a secret message. Common steganography techniques include hiding text in image pixel values, audio samples, or document formatting/styles. When combined with encryption, steganography can provide a highly secure way of covertly transmitting information.

     Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden message in


    such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended
    recipient, suspects the existence of the message.

     Steganography works by replacing bits of useless or unused data


    in regular computer files (such as graphics, sound, text, html or
    even floppy disks) with bits of different, invisible information.
     This hidden information can be plain text, cipher text or even
    images.

     In modern steganography, data is first encrypted by the usual


    means and then inserted, using a special algorithm, into redundant
    data that is part of a particular file format such as a JPEG image,
    Bitmap image.
     Steganography process :
    Cover-media + Hidden data + Stego-key = Stego-medium
     Cover media:
    It is the file in which we will hide the hidden data

    Cover-media can be image or audio file.

     stego-key:
    Cover-media can be encrypted using stego-key:

     stego-medium.
     The resultant file is of above process called stego medium.

    ‘Secret inside’
    Image Steganography
     It is a technique used to transmit hidden information by
    modifying an audio signal in an imperceptible manner. It
    is the science of hiding some secret text or audio
    information in a host message. The host message before
    steganography and stego message after steganography
    have the same characteristics.
     Advantages:
     No one suspects existence of message

     Highly secure

     Disadvantages:
     It requires a lot of overhead to hide a relatively few bits of

    information
