TOPIC:
USING STEGANOGRAPHY TO ENCRYPT AND DECRYPT
SECRET MESSAGES
 Statement of the problem
This project addresses the security problem of transmitting data over
internet. Visible encrypted messages will draw the suspicion of others.
This will make them attempt to decrypt the cipher text. Indirectly it
arouses the chance of message being viewed by third party oblivious to the
sender and recipient. However by hiding or embedding the text file into an
image, it is hard to arouse the suspicion of others whether or not it
contains any secret message as the processed image does not look any
different from the original image to the naked eye. This will make the
message more secure. Indirectly, only the sender and recipient know the
treat behind the image and hence ensure that the message can only be
viewed by sender and recipient.
Global Objectives
The purpose of steganography is to conceal and deceive. It is a
form of covert communication and involves the use of any medium
to make transmitted messages invisible to the third party

Specific Objectives
The objectives of the research are to:
1. To store a text file (.txt) into image.
2. To protect the text file (.txt) from being viewed by third party
using encryption.
3. To restore the stored text file in image.
