    An Introduction To Image Steganography Techniques

    Uploaded by

    Dee
    This document introduces image steganography techniques. It defines key concepts like images, pixels, cryptography, and steganography. Images are made up of pixels, with each pixel represented by bytes for red, green, and blue color values. Steganography hides data within digital files like images, making the secret communication invisible. It works by replacing least significant bits of pixel values with bits of the hidden message. While cryptography scrambles a message, steganography conceals its very existence. The document compares steganography and cryptography, and notes pros and cons of using steganography including hiding information versus potential illegal uses.

    AN INTRODUCTION TO IMAGE

    STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES
    WHAT IS IMAGE?

    • An image is a visual representation of something, such as a


    photograph or other two-dimensional picture.-Wiki

    In digital, an Image or a picture is


    nothing but the collection of well
    organized pixels.
    Common Images formats:
     JPEG
     GIF
     PNG
     TIFF
     EXIf
    WHAT IS PIXELS?

    • In digital imaging, a pixel is the smallest unit of a image.


    Pixels are the basic building blocks of a image -Wiki

    COMPONENTS OF A PIXEL
    I.E a pixel
    is a smallest
    element which
    R G B
    is used to
    represent the
    smallest
    possible part Each pixel represented as 3
    in an image. bytes.
    R-RED :(Decimal rep :255,0,0)
    G-GREEN :(Decimal rep :0,255,0)
    B-BLUE :(Decimal rep :0,0,255)
    PROBLEM STATEMENT

    • Whenever we want to send, it may be piece of data or information or


    secret text to one person. however data may not be secured enough
    because third party may try to alter or access the data for their
    benefit.

    • There are lots of crypto approached to transmit information in


    different form. However attackers get to know that there is something
    secret hidden in crypto message/information.

    • Cryptography and steganography are both methods used to hide or


    protect secret data. However, they differ in the respect that
    cryptography makes the data unreadable, or hides the meaning of the
    data, while steganography hides the existence of the data.
    WHAT IS CRYPTOGRAPHY?
    • Cryptography is a method of protecting information and
    communications through the use of codes so that only those for whom
    the information is intended can read and process it.
    • Example:Fishing freshwater bends and saltwater coasts rewards anyone
    feeling stressed. Resourceful anglers usually find masterful leapers fun
    and admit swordfish rank overwhelming anyday.
    • “Send lawyers guns and money”

    • There are two steps in cryptography :


    A)Converting information into some non readable form usually known
    as encoding or encryption.

    B)Converting non readable information into readable form usually


    known as decoding or decryption.
    WHAT IS STEGANOGRAPHY?

    Steganography is the process of art and science in such a way that no


    one apart from the sender and intended recipients even realizes that the
    communication is going on.

    -> Steganography is the practice


    of concealing a file, message,
    image, or video within another
    file, message, image, or video.
    The word steganography combines
    the Greek words steganos, meaning
    "covered,concealed, or protected",
    and graphein meaning "writing".
    -Wiki
    WHAT IS IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY?
    • As the name suggests, Image Steganography refers to the process
    of hiding data within an image file. The image selected for this
    purpose is called the cover-image and the image obtained after
    steganography is called the stego-image.

    PROS AND CONS OF STEGANOGRAPHY

    CONS:
    PROS:
    Unfortunately most uses of
    Hiding Information: -
    steganography and research
    Steganography can also be used
    around the topic of
    to protect identities and
    steganography centre around
    valuable data from theft,
    the illegitimate purposes. The
    unauthorized viewing, or
    three biggest areas of
    potential sabotage by
    illegitimate steganography
    concealing the message within
    evolve around terrorism,
    a unsuspicious image.
    pornography and data theft.
    DIFF. B/N CRYPTOGRAPHY AND
    STEGANOGRAPHY
    Cryptography:
    Steganography:
    • Known message passing
    • Unknown message passing • Common technology
    • Little known technology • Most algorithms known to
    • Technology still being government departments
    developed for certain • Strong algorithm are
    formats currently resistant to brute
    force attack Large expensive
    • Once detected message is computing power required for
    known cracking Technology increase
    reduces strength
    CONCLUSION

    • Lots of cryptography methods used to hide the actual


    information from threats. But that threat knows that there is
    something/some important message inside the cryptography block.
    So he/she may intently attack to that particular block.

    • But steganography gives the method of hiding information inside


    a cover object. And protect those message from threats, since
    threat cannot find out directly by seeing the image and
    conclude that there is something hidden inside the cover
    object(image) or not.
