ABSTRACT
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
steganography techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have
respective strong and weak points. Different applications may require absolute
invisibility of the secret information, while others require a large secret message to
be hidden. This project report intends to give an overview of image steganography,
its uses and techniques. It also attempts to identify the requirements of a good
steganography algorithm and briefly reflects on which steganographic techniques
are more suitable for which applications.
Overview of Stegnography
This application lets you embed or hide important or private messages or files
into picture files like JPG, GIF and BMP Bitmap images without affecting the
quality of actual images or files. It achieves this by using the least significant
bits of these files for embedding data which are not used by the Image viewers
or Image editors.
It allows you to embed the messages or files in Encrypted form using 32 bit
DES algorithm which means that once encrypted, the message or file could be
retrieved (or decrypted) from a Master file only after specifying the correct
Password which was used at the time of encryption.
INTRODUCTION
One of the reasons that intruders can be successful is the most of the information
they acquire from a system is in a form that they can read and comprehend.
Intruders may reveal the information to others, modify it to misrepresent an
individual or organization, or use it to launch an attack. One solution to this problem
is, through the use of steganography. Steganography is a technique of hiding
information in digital media. In contrast to cryptography, it is not to keep others
from knowing the hidden information but it is to keep others from thinking that the
information even exists.
Steganography become more important as more people join the cyberspace

revolution. Steganography is the art of concealing information in ways that prevents
the detection of hidden messages. Stegranography include an array of secret
communication methods that hide the message from being seen or discovered.
Due to advances in ICT, most of information is kept electronically. Consequently, the

security of information has become a fundamental issue. Besides cryptography,
streganography can be employed to secure information. In cryptography, the
message or encrypted message is embedded in a digital host before passing it
through the network, thus the existence of the message is unknown. Besides hiding
data for confidentiality, this approach of information hiding can be extended to
copyright protection for digital media: audio, video and images.
The growing possibilities of modern communications need the special means of

security especially on computer network. The network security is becoming more
important as the number of data being exchanged on the internet increases.
Therefore, the confidentiality and data integrity are requires to protect against
unauthorized access and use. This has resulted in an explosive growth of the field of
information hiding
Information hiding is an emerging research area, which encompasses applications
such as copyright protection for digital media, watermarking, fingerprinting, and
steganography.
In watermarking applications, the message contains information such as owner

identification and a digital time stamp, which usually applied for copyright
protection.Fingerprint, the owner of the data set embeds a serial number that
uniquely identifies the user of the data set. This adds to copyright information to
makes it possible to trace any unauthorized used of the data set back to the user.
Steganography hide the secrete message within the host data set and presence
imperceptible and is to be reliably communicated to a receiver. The host data set is
purposely corrupted, but in a covert way, designed to be invisible to an information
analysis.
Steganography is the process of hiding a secret message within a larger

one in such a way that someone cannot know the presence or contents of the
hidden message. Although related, Steganography is not to be confused with
Encryption,which is the process of making a message unintelligible—
Steganography attempts tohide the existence of communication.
The basic structure of Steganography is made up of three components:
The“carrier”, the message, and the key1. The carrier can be a painting, a
digital image, anmp3, even a TCP/IP packet among other things. It is the object
that will ‘carry’ thehidden message. A key is used to decode/decipher/discover
the hidden message.This can be anything from a password, a pattern, a black-
light, or even lemon juice.In this paper I will focus on the use of Steganography
within digital images (BMPand PNG) using LSB Substitution, although the
properties of Image Steganographymay be substituted with audio mp3’s, zip
archives, and any other digital documentformat relatively easily.
What is Steganography?
Steganography is the practice of hiding private or sensitive information within

something that appears to be nothing out to the usual. Steganography is often
confused with cryptology because the two are similar in the way that they both are
used to protect important information. The difference between two is that
steganography involves hiding information so it appears that no information is
hidden at all. If a person or persons views the object that the information is hidden
inside of he or she will have no idea that there is any hidden information, therefore
the person will not attempt to decrypt the information.
What steganography essentially does is exploit human perception, human senses are
not trained to look for files that have information inside of them, although this
software is available that can do what is called Steganography. The most common
use of steganography is to hide a file inside another file.
History of Steganography:
Through out history Steganography has been used to secretly communicate

information between people.
Some examples of use of Steganography is past times are:
1. During World War 2 invisible ink was used to write information on pieces of
paper so that the paper appeared to the average person as just being blank
pieces of paper. Liquids such as milk, vinegar and fruit juices were used,
because when each one of these substances are heated they darken and
become visible to the human eye.
2. In Ancient Greece they used to select messengers and shave their head, they
would then write a message on their head. Once the message had been
written the hair was allowed to grow back. After the hair grew back the
messenger was sent to deliver the message, the recipient would shave off the
messengers hair to see the secrete message.
3. Another method used in Greece was where someone would peel wax off a
tablet that was
Why This Steganography?
This technique is chosen, because this system includes not only imperceptibility but
also un-delectability by any steganolysis tool.

Feasibility
 Feasibility Study :
Feasibility study is conducted once the problem is clearly

understood feasibility study is a high level capsule version of the entire at
minimum expense show to solve a problem .
The purpose of feasibility study I not to solve a problem, but to

determine if the problem is worth solving.
The following points analyze how feasible is the system for the
organization. In other words, these points elaborate on the benefits of the
proposed system.
 The system has been tested for Feasibility study the following point
1. Technical analysis.
2. Economical analysis
3. Operational analysis.
4. Motivational analysis.
5. Legal analysis.
 Technical Feasibility :
The project entities “Stenography” is technical feasibility because of the
below mentioned features . The project was develop in which
GUI(Graphical user interface).It provides the high level of reliability,
availability & compatibility. All these make an appropriate language for this
project thus the existing s/w java is a powerful language. The system has
been proposed on a java platform. This is an upcoming technology and have
favored in the market for a long time now. The backend used is Microsoft
Office Access 2003,, which is also one of the favored database management
systems.
 Economical Feasibility :
The computerized system will help in automate the selection leading
the profit and details of the organization with the s/w .The machine and
manpower utilization are expected to go up by 80-90% appropriate of not
creating the system are set to be great because time can be wanted by
manually.
 The system will save time.

 At t he same time the system will require less manual power as compared
to the current system. There is no training cost.
 The storage and handling problem with respect to registers will be solved.
 Operational Feasibility :
In this project the management will know the details of each
project where he may be presented and the data will be maintained as
decentralized and if any inquires for that particular contract can be know
as per their requirement and necessaries. The proposed system is
operationally feasible as it would increase the throughput and reduce the
response time to some extent.

System Analysis
EXISTING SYSTEM
 The Current System is working manually so the Management of Records is

quite uncomfortable.
 The purpose of Steganography is to maintain secret communication between
two parties.
 So the work load is very high.
DRAWBAKES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

 Existing system is manual.
 Creation of Reports is very hectic. If any error occurs while creating a report
then the whole report has to be regenerated
which is time consuming.
 There is no systematic recording of the reports & information.
 The system is time consuming and tedious
PROPOSED SYSTEM
 Steganography and Cryptography are two popular ways of sending vital

information in a secret way.
 One hides the existence of the message and the other distorts the message
itself.
 There are many cryptography techniques available; among them AES is one
of the most powerful techniques. In Steganography we have various
techniques in different domains like spatial domain, frequency domain etc. to
hide the message.
 In this project we are developing a system where we develop a new
technique in which Cryptography and Steganography are used as integrated
part along with newly developed enhanced security module.
 In Cryptography we are using DES algorithm to encrypt a message and a
part of the message is hidden in DCT of an image.
ADVANTAGE OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
 Avoiding communication in well-known forms greatly reduces the risk of

information being leaked in transit.
 Another form of Steganography, called watermarking is used primarily for
identification and entails embedding a unique piece of information within a
medium without noticeably altering the medium.
 Steganography can also enhance individual privacy.
 This is effective only if the hidden communication is not detected.
 The most private communication is the one that never existed.

System Analysis & Design
Steganography system requires any type of image file and the information or
message that is to be hidden. It has two modules encrypt and decrypt.
Microsoft .Net framework prepares a huge amount of tool and options for
programmers that they simples programming. One of .Net tools for pictures and
images is auto-converting most types of pictures to BMP format. I used this tool in
this software called “Steganography” that is written in C#.Net language and you can
use this software to hide your information in any type of pictures without any
converting its format to BMP (software converts inside it).
The algorithm used for Encryption and Decryption in this application provides
using several layers lieu of using only LSB layer of image. Writing data starts from
last layer (8st or LSB layer); because significant of this layer is least and every upper
layer has doubled significant from its down layer. So every step we go to upper layer
image quality decreases and image retouching transpires.
The encrypt module is used to hide information into the image; no one can see that
information or file. This module requires any type of image and message and gives
the only one image file in destination.
The decrypt module is used to get the hidden information in an image file. It take the
image file as an output, and give two file at destination folder, one is the same image
file and another is the message file that is hidden it that.
Before encrypting file inside image we must save name and size of file in a definite
place of image. We could save file name before file information in LSB layer and
save file size and file name size in most right-down pixels of image. Writing this
information is needed to retrieve file from encrypted image in decryption state.
The graphical representation of this system is as follows:

Bitmap Steganography:
Bitmap type is the simplest type of picture because that it doesn’t have any
technology for decreasing file size. Structure of these files is that a bitmap image
created from pixels that any pixel created from three colors ( red, green and blue said
RGB) each color of a pixel is one byte information that shows the density of that
color. Merging these three color makes every color that we see in these pictures. We
know that every byte in computer science is created from 8 bit that first bit is Most-
Significant-Bit (MSB) and last bit Least-Significant-Bit (LSB), the idea of using
Steganography science is in this place; we use LSB bit for writing our security
information inside BMP pictures. So if we just use last layer (8st layar) of
information, we should change the last bit of pixels, in other hands we have 3 bits in
each pixel so we have 3*hight*width bits memory to write our information. But
before writing our data we must write name of data(file), size of name of data & size
of data. We can do this by assigning some first bits of memory (8st layer).

System Implementstion
I. VALIDATION TESTING:
Software validation is achieved through different tests that demonstrate

conformity with requirements. In general, validation is the process of checking
if something satisfied a certain criteria. Validation implies one is able to
document that a solution or process is correct or suited for its intended use.
Validation can be too declared or make legally valid or to prove valid or

conform the validity of data, information or process.
Validation is important because it disallow data that can not possibly be

either true or real to be entered into database or computer system.
The methodology used for maintaining data integrity is as follows:
1] Numeric validation:
In this validation we are checking range of age, contact number, negative

numbering or age.
2] Data validation:
In this validation we not allow to enter wrong data like spaces before any
data, departure date should not less than booking date, no special character in
data, and length of character is fix, etc..
In our system we are going to use the Black box testing in the following
criteria.
1] Easy to compute data:
Ensure legitimate values which the system should accept and save in the
database or process the data to display any of the required results. We ensured
that the system accepted and proposed all such data and give required results.
2] Extreme data testing:
This test case carried out data overflow and underflow checks to make
sure that the data lies within the available set of data range for that particular
data type and the particular data field e.g. an integer input should lies between
32768 and 32767, company code is a four digit positive number etc.
3] Invalid inconsistent database input:
When primary key values were entered it was checked whether they
conflicted with existing values. When foreign key values were entered they
were validated for referential integrity violations.
II. SECURITY TESTING:
 Login screen provides access too only authorized employee using a user
password combination. So we provide the encryption of password before
storing in the database.
 During security testing, the tester plays the important role of an individual
who desires to penetrate the system.
 He tester may attempt to acquire password through external clerical means
may attack the system with custom software designed to break down any
defenses that have been constructed.
III. END USER TESTING:
In this software the performance has been inline with the expectations of
the client company. This phase in our software accomplishes:
1) Corrective faults
2) Improved performance.
3) Adapt the product to a changed environment and implementing changes.
4) Evaluation by the external guide.
Testing is done to find information critical decisions about the project or
product that are made on basic of the information.
Testing is process of executing program with the intent of finding error

FUTURE ENHANSMENT
FUTURE SCOPE
 I hope to add support to hide all file formats. This allows for a much
broaderspectrum of uses: one would be able to encode .exe, .batch etc.
 Theprogram would be more versatile because often hiding text just isn’t
enough.
 I also would like to implement batch image processing and statistical
analysis sothat I can run the program through a dataset of images and detect
Steganographyand perhaps crawl through Google Image Search to see how
prevalentSteganography is.
 I eventually plan to port the program to use C/C++ so that I may take
advantage ofbit-fields in C and learn to code GUI’s as well.
 I have a plug-in handler developed forC++ that I would like to use in this
project so that third-party developers maycontribute to the project.
 More than one company can be integrated through this software.
 Distributed database approach in place of centralized system.
Summary
Steganography is a really interesting subject and outside of the mainstream

cryptography and system administration that most of us deal with day after day.
Steganography can be used for hidden communication. We have explored the limits
of steganography theory and practice. We printed out the enhancement of the image
steganography system using LSB approach to provide a means of secure
communication. A stego-key has been applied to the system during embedment of
the message into the cover image.
This steganography application software provided for the purpose to how to use any
type of image formats to hiding any type of files inside their. The master work of this
application is in supporting any type of pictures without need to convert to bitmap,
and lower limitation on file size to hide, because of using maximum memory space
in pictures to hide the file.
Since ancient times, man has found a desire in the ability to communicate covertly.
The recent explosion of research in watermarking to protect intellectual property is
evidence that steganography is not just limited to military or espionage applications.
Steganography, like cryptography, will play an increasing role in the future of secure
communication in the “digital world”.

Some examples of use of Steganography is past times are:

Why This Steganography?

 Anyone can see the Important message and secret data.

 Hide archives inside any images type.

 Open the hidden files from within the program itself.

 View a preview before creating.

 Embedding a message in an uncompressed format file.

 Embedding a file into an uncompressed format file.

 Retrieving message from a Master file.

 Retrieving embedded file from a Master file:

 Steganography allows for two parties to communicate secretly and covertly.
