1. Introduction

One oI the reasons that intruders can be successIul is the most oI the inIormation they acquire
Irom a system is in a Iorm that they can read and comprehend. Intruders may reveal the
inIormation to others, modiIy it to misrepresent an individual or organization, or use it to
launch an attack. One solution to this problem is, through the use oI steganography.
Steganography is a technique oI hiding inIormation in digital media. In contrast to
cryptography, it is not to keep others Irom knowing the hidden inIormation but it is to keep
others Irom thinking that the inIormation even exists.
Steganography become more important as more people join the cyberspace revolution.
Steganography is the art oI concealing inIormation in ways that prevents the detection oI
hidden messages. Steganography include an array oI secret communication methods that hide
the message Irom being seen or discovered.
Due to advances in ICT, most oI inIormation is kept electronically. Consequently, the
security oI inIormation has become a Iundamental issue. Besides cryptography,
streganography can be employed to secure inIormation. In cryptography, the message or
encrypted message is embedded in a digital host beIore passing it through the network, thus
the existence oI the message is unknown. Besides hiding data Ior conIidentiality, this
approach oI inIormation hiding can be extended to copyright protection Ior digital media:
audio, video and images.
The growing possibilities oI modern communications need the special means oI security
especially on computer network. The network security is becoming more important as the
number oI data being exchanged on the internet increases. ThereIore, the conIidentiality and
data integrity are requires to protect against unauthorized access and use. This has resulted in
an explosive growth oI the Iield oI inIormation hiding. 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 inIormation analysis.

2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective

The project originated as the Iinal year project to be submitted Ior the IulIillment oI B Tech
degree course, Steganography is the art oI hiding the Iact that communication is taking place,
by hiding inIormation in other inIormation. Many diIIerent carrier Iile Iormats can be used,
but digital images are the most popular because oI their Irequency on the internet. For hiding
secret inIormation in images, there exists a large variety oI steganography techniques some
are more complex than others and all oI them have respective strong and weak points.
DiIIerent applications may require absolute invisibility oI the secret inIormation, while others
require a large secret message to be hidden. This project give an overview oI image
steganography, its uses and techniques. It also attempts to identiIy the requirements oI a good
steganography algorithm and brieIly reIlects on which steganographic techniques are more
suitable Ior which applications.

The graphical representation oI this system is as Iollows:

2.3 User Classes and Characteristics
User: They can perIorm the Steganographic task and have control over the user
management and log Iile.

2.4 Operating Environment
Operating System: Win Xp,2000,98,vista,windoes7
Software Requirement`s : C#,.net Framework 3.5
Hardware Requirement: 256mb ram RAM or higher,10mb disk space screen
Resoulation:1024x768

Steganography System requires any type oI Iile in a deIinte place oI image. We could save
Iile name beIore Iile inIormation in LSB layer and save Steganography system requires any
type oI image Iile and the inIormation or message that is to be hidden. It has two modules
encrypt and decrypt.

2.5 Design and Implementation Constraints
MicrosoIt .Net Iramework prepares a huge amount oI tool and options Ior programmers that
they simples programming. One oI .Net tools Ior pictures and images is auto-converting most
types oI pictures to BMP Iormat. I used this tool in this soItware called 'Steganography that
is written in C#.Net language and you can use this soItware to hide your inIormation in any
type oI pictures without any converting its Iormat to BMP (soItware converts inside it).
The algorithm used Ior Encryption and Decryption in this application provides using several
layers lieu oI using only LSB layer oI image. Writing data starts Irom last layer (8st or LSB
layer); because signiIicant oI this layer is least and every upper layer has doubled signiIicant
Irom 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 inIormation into the image; no one can see that
inIormation or Iile. This module requires any type oI image and message and gives the only
one image Iile in destination.
The decrypt module is used to get the hidden inIormation in an image Iile. It take the image
Iile as an output, and give two Iile at destination Iolder, one is the same image Iile and
another is the message Iile that is hidden it that.
BeIore encrypting Iile inside image we must save name and size Iile size and Iile name size
in most right-down pixels oI image. Writing this inIormation is needed to retrieve Iile Irom
encrypted image in decryption state.
2.6 User Documentation
Installation Guide, User Manual and Help File are provided separately with the product.
Context sensitive help in integrated implicitly with the Product.

2.7Assumption and Dependencies:
Dependencies:
O 2 GB or higher storage required.
O II project runs in diIIerent location the project may not run correctly.

Assumptions:
O Operating System is only one oI NT Iamily.

















3.External Interface Requirements
3.1 User Interfaces:
It provides various Ieatures to user about the mode oI use oI soItware. User can choose text,
image option and can do work on it. It also provides various other Ieatures like user
management, compression , encryption,decryption, Iile.
3.2 Hardware Interfaces:
Apart Irom the recommended conIiguration no other speciIic hardware is required to run the
soItware.
3.3 Software Interfaces:
O C#
O .Net Framework 3.5














4. Other Nonfunctional Requirements
4.1 Performance Requirements
O The RAM should be 128 mb at least. But 256 Mb RAM is Recommended.
O The disk space required to strore the soItware is 20 Mb and to store the output Iiles.
4.2 Safety Requirements
O The size constraints have to be evaluated by the end user only.
O The soItware does not check Ior the size constraint. This is done to enhance the
perIormance oI the soItware in terms oI speed.
O In case size oI hidden object exceeds the max. Allowable size that can be
hidden, the extra inIormation is truncated. The part oI hidden object oI size
equal to maximum possible size is stored in carrier Iile.
O The size oI hidden object that can be stored in a carrier Iile depends on the
carrier Iile size and type oI Steganographic task.
O The screen resolution should be set to 1027x768 or higher to get the complete
view oI the soItware. In case oI lower screen resolution, the soItware not only
looks awkward but also not completely visible.
4.3 Security Requirements
O Application should not be open Ior public.
O In Encryption and decryption should be used same application.

5. Other Requirements:
There are no Iurther requirements other than the speciIied in this SRS under
diIIerent headings.
