W at i Stega ograp y?
Steganography is the practice of concealing information within other
data, making it difficult to detect the hidden message. This technique
has been used for centuries for covert communication and security
purposes.

Data Hidi g
It's about discreetly hiding information within seemingly harmless
carriers, such as images, audio files, or even plain text.

Covert Co u icatio
It can be used for secure communication, where the existence of
the message is hidden from unauthorized parties.

Security E a ce e t
Steganography can be used as an additional layer of security to
protect sensitive information.
Adva tage of
Stega ograp y
Steganography offers several advantages over traditional encryption
methods, making it a valuable tool for secure communication.

1 Co cealed Exi te ce
The very existence of the hidden message is concealed,
making it difficult to detect and intercept.

2 E a ced Security
By hiding data within seemingly harmless carriers,
steganography adds an extra layer of security.

3 I crea ed Privacy
Steganography can be used to protect sensitive information
from unauthorized access and scrutiny.

4 Covert Operatio
It can be used for covert communication in situations where
traditional methods are too risky or unreliable.

We'll explore the process of embedding a batch file within an image,
illustrating the practical application of steganography.

1 I age Selectio
Choose an image with enough data to accommodate
the batch file, ensuring minimal visual distortion.

2 Batc File E codi g


The batch file is converted into a binary sequence,
ready for embedding within the image data.

3 Data I ertio
The encoded batch file bits are strategically inserted
within the image's least significant bits (LSBs), minimally
affecting the image visually.

4 Modified I age
The modified image now contains the hidden batch file,
seemingly untouched to the naked eye.
Pote tial Applicatio
Steganography has various applications in modern technology, including secure communication, data hiding,
and covert operations.

While steganography offers advantages, it also faces challenges and limitations, requiring careful
consideration and appropriate implementation.

Detection Advanced detection methods can identify hidden


messages, compromising the security of the
technique.

Capacity The amount of data that can be hidden is limited


by the size of the carrier file, potentially
compromising the hidden message.

Complexity Implementing steganography requires technical


expertise and knowledge, making it inaccessible to
all users.
