 INTRODUCTION

Steganography – Greek origin

means “ Covered or Hidden writing ”

Process of hiding confidential information within any media.

Confused with cryptography

difference – appearance in processed output

Steganalysis – detecting steganography

Cover object – used as carrier to embed messages into

Stego object – object which carry a hidden message

3
BACKGROUND / RELATED WORK
 Images – widely used media to transmit hidden messages.

 Raster data that defines the image stored either by ,

 Simple compression – Graphics Interchange Format(GIF)
 Amenable compression – Joint Photographic Experts Group(JPEG)

 GIF image format uses table based representation.

 JPEG representation allows compression of data to varying

degrees.

 In digital steganography – messages represented as bits

4
BACKGROUND / RELATED WORK

5
 WORKING
 Basis of steganography - hiding bits of message among bits of
image
 The message is undetectable, but
 Recoverable by intended recipients

6
 WORKING (Contd..)

The modern formulation of steganography is often given in terms of

the prisoner's problem.

 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

 This System includes three main parts

 Administrator - creates the monitor accounts

 Encryption - uses the service of the system & authenticates

the user

 Decryption – used to decrypt data

8
 SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Contd..)
Administrator :
 Create, and monitor accounts of authorities.

 The created user should be assigned with a Primary Unique-ID.

 Authorize the user to perform various operations as provided by

the system.

 Should properly handle Encryption and Decryption phases.

 For every individual encrypted file a encryption stegnographed

pattern should be assigned.
9
 SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Contd..)
Encryption :
 Users - create new account, login to existing accounts
give authority to use the services provided by the system.

 Authenticated users
encrypt the important and essential data.

During encryption phase user provide a Carrier image and the data that
is to be encrypted.

User download the stegnographed file

User can share the encrypted file with other users.

10
 SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Contd..)
Decryption :
Users can log-in to their accounts as created by
administrator.

Authenticated users should be able to decrypt the

important essential data.

Upload the encrypted file for further decryption.

11
SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Contd..)

12
 EXISTING SYSTEM
Mostly data stored in consequent pixel bits of the cover image.

If at all random pixels used data can be decrypted by any unauthorized
user by the using same application.

High risk of data loss or data sniffing while communication over the
network.

Restriction of file size of the data as compared to the cover image, data
size should be smaller than the cover image.

Encrypted data cannot be shared by the user.

Cannot manage his files and data that were previously encrypted by the
particular user.
13
 PROPOSED SYSTEM
 Data stored in random pixel bits of the cover image.

 Only authorized personals by using his Unique-ID can upload the

particular encrypted file and decrypt the data.

 While communicating with the server over the network, eliminating

the risk of sniffing and data loss.

 Large data can be encrypted irrespective of the cover image.

 User can very well share his encrypted data without worrying about
the security.
14
 ADVANTAGES
 Covert communication using images (secret message is hidden
in a carrier image)

 Ownership of digital images, authentication, copyright

 Data integrity, fraud detection, self-correcting images

 Traitor-tracing (fingerprinting video-tapes)

 Copy control (secondary protection for DVD)

15
 ADVANTAGES (Contd..)

 Adding captions to images, additional information, such

as subtitles, to video, embedding subtitles or audio tracks
to video (video-in-video)

Intelligent browsers, automatic copyright information,

viewing a movie in a given rated version

16
 APPLICATIONS
 Access control system for digital content distribution.

 Media Database systems.

 Fields where this technique will definitely be highly benefited

include
 Music
 Film
 Ministry
 Military

17
 CONCLUSION
 Steganography means “ Covered or Hidden writing ”

 Different medias have been used as the cover media such as: image,
audio, text, protocol and video.

 Images – widely used media to transmit hidden messages.

 Basis of steganography - hiding bits of message among bits of image.

 Communication and secret data storing.

 Protection of data alteration.

18
 FUTURE WORK

 The future work in steganalysis - employment of advanced bio-

inspired metaheuristic algorithms, such as

 Genetic Algorithms
 Ant Colony Optimization
 Particle Swarm Optimization
 Artificial Immune Systems

 In future system be more robust and efficient.

 utilize the entire image for embedding the message.
