ABSTRACT
Steganography is the science of hiding secret message inside another larger and harmless looking message.
This is one notch above regular cryptography; which just obscures the original message. Steganography
tries to conceal the fact that there is a message in the first place. Steganographic message often appears to
be something else than the original (secret) message, like a picture, sound, larger text, etc. The project
describes a steganography technique in which text is concealed in an image. The lower nibble of each
image byte is modified so as to contain each nibble of the input text. The steganography algorithm used in
this implementation maximises on data capacity and also ensures security. The Java programming language
is used for its comprehensive libraries and ease of use. A simple GUI has been developed using Java's
AWT and SWING packages. The AES encryption algorithm is also used to further enhance the security of
the scheme. Digital Watermarking is the process of embedding a covert marker in a noise-tolerant signal
such as image data. It is typically used to identify ownership of the copyright of such signal. The hidden
information should but does not necessarily need to contain a relation to the carrier signal. Digital
watermarks may be used to verify the authenticity or integrity of the carrier signal or to show the identity of
its owners. It is prominently used for tracing copyright infringements and for banknote authentication. Like
traditional watermarks, digital watermarks are only perceptible under certain conditions, i.e. after using
some algorithm, and imperceptible anytime else. If a digital watermark distorts the carrier signal in a way
that it becomes perceivable, it is of no use.
Objective:
The primary objective of MyStego is to create a user-centric steganography solution emphasizing data
capacity, security and user experience. It inspires the need of modern, versatile and intuitive steganography
tool in the digital age. MyStego provides robust digital watermarking capabilities such that the watermark
strength is not easily reduced when the watermarked image is resized, cropped or some other minor
modifications are done.
