Abstract:

Steganography is the practice of hiding information in plain sight, in such a way that it is not apparent to anyone except the intended recipient. This paper explores the use of steganography in digital media, specifically in the form of images, audio, and text files. In image steganography, the hidden message is embedded within the image itself, by altering the least significant bits of the pixel values. In audio steganography, the message is hidden within audio signal by modifying the amplitude or phase of the audio samples. Similarly, in text steganography, the message is hidden within the text by altering certain characters or spaces. These techniques have been widely used for secure communication, data hiding, and digital watermarking. However, they can also be used for malicious purposes such as cybercrime and terrorism. As a result, detecting and prevent the steganography has become a key challenge for cyber security experts.
