Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. Many different carrier file formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the Internet. For hiding secret information in images, there exists a large variety of steganographic techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have respective strong and weak points. Different applications have different requirements of the steganography technique used. For example, some applications may require absolute invisibility of the secret information, while others require a larger secret message to be hidden. This paper intends to give an overview of image steganography, its uses and techniques. It also attempts to identify the requirements of a good steganographic algorithm and briefly reflects on which steganographic techniques are more suitable for which applications.

For example, some applications may require absolute invisibility of the secret information, while others require a larger secret message to be hidden. This project intends to give an overview of image steganography, its uses and techniques. It also supports steganography in Audio files. For a more secure approach, the project encrypts the message using secret key and then sends it to the receiver. The receiver then decrypts the message to get the original one.

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity. Many different carrier file formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the internet. In this paper explains the PIGPEN image steganography technique which modifies the secret message itself not the technique of embedding. This technique represents the secret message characters by two decimal digits only not three decimal digits as ASCII encoding. So, it can save one third of the required space for embedding the message in an image. The PIGPEN technique will be enhanced by using the zigzag scanning to increase the security and achieves higher visual quality as indicated by the high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in spite of hiding a large number of secret bits in the image.

Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. Many different carrier ?le formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the Internet. For hiding secret information in images, there exists a large variety of steganography techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have respective strong and weak points. Different applications have different requirements of the steganography technique used. For example, some applications may require absolute invisibility of the secret information, while others require a larger secret message to be hidden. This project hides the message within the image. This project uses LSB Substitution method to hide the secret message inside the image. Sender select the cover image with the secret message ?le (which can be of any format) and hide it into the image, it help to generate the secure stego image. The stego image is sent to the destination with the help of private or public communication network. On the other side the receiver downloads the stego image and using the software retrieve the secret text hidden in the stego image.

Secret Information

Steganography is a technique for publicly transmitting secret information through a cover. Most of the existing steganography algorithms are based on modifying the cover image, generating a stego image that is very similar to the cover image but has different pixel values, or establishing a mapping relationship between the stego image and the secret message. Attackers will discover the existence of secret communications from these modifications or differences. In order to solve this problem, we propose a steganography algorithm ISTNet based on image style transfer, which can convert a cover image into another stego image with a completely different style. We have improved the decoder so that the secret image features can be fused with style features in a variety of sizes to improve the accuracy of secret image extraction. The algorithm has the functions of image steganography and image style transfer at the same time, and the images it generates are both stego images and stylized images. Attackers will pay more attention to the style transfer side of the algorithm, but it is difficult to find the steganography side. Experiments show that our algorithm effectively increases the steganography capacity from 0.06 bpp to 8 bpp, and the generated stylized images are not significantly different from the stylized images on the Internet.

Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. Many different carrier file formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the Internet. For hiding secret information in images, there exist a large variety of steganographic techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have respective strong and weak points.. As embedding data in an image, is independent of one another. Parallelism can be used to achieve considerable time gain. nography, although it has made communication safe, it has its own drawbacks. One among it is time required to embed data in pixels of the image. This problem is bugging computer scientists from long time. This paper discusses a method which makes OpenMP parallel library to parallelize embedding of data, which basically reduces the time by almost fifty percent and to achieve PSNR ranging from 30 to 50 after embedding data in the pixels of the image.

Steganography exists from many years in a variety of forms and has been used in a variety of domains. There are various types of steganographic techniques that are used to hide data in various file formats. The proposed model uses three layers of security using three algorithms namely, LSB, DES and AES. The software allows the user to encrypt the secret message which gets protected by undergoing three layers of encryption. The output of the encryption process which is the steno image can be sent across through any medium along with the secret key to decrypt. The end user then uses a unique key to extract and decrypt the secret message from the image. There are many reasons to hide data but the simplest is the need to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the secret information.

Due to the swift growth of the using of the digital multimedia in the internet these days, the security in digital images has become a very important issue. Lately, significant attentions are given by many researchers in the field of the security for digital images, and several image encryption techniques have been developed to improve the security levels of these images. Different techniques can be applied to protect intellectual property rights for digital images and prohibit illegal copying. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the most important techniques that have been developed to implement the security in digital images such as digital watermarking and image steganography.

A New Technique

Information is always being transmitted through the internet. Securing that information is an important issue that programmers need to take into consideration. There are several ways to protect digital images, one of which is steganography, a method of encryption that encrypts information inside another type of information such as images. In this research, we propose a new technique to protect information from hacking. We have used the process of hiding. There are many techniques to secure the image such as hiding information inside other information as in steganography. In this paper, we introduce a new method to protect the information from theft. We used encryption to encrypt the text by using the password between the sender and the receiver. After that we used the least significant bit technique to hide the text in the image. Finally, we applied the proposed method in the MATLAB program.
