ABSTRACT

Steganography is the process of hiding the information that communication is taking place whereas
Image based Steganography is the process of hiding the information in the input image. The main motive
of this technique is to hide the important information byte by byte in an image pixles. The input image
can be of any size but must be greater than the size of a input message.This process is usefull when we to
send some important information to somebody without anybody else noticing the secret information.
After the transmission the reciever should also use the same technique that was used for encoding to
decode the message. This process hides the data in such a manner that there will be no noticible changes
in an image. It basically hides the existence of the data. Each and every byte of data is converted into its
binary equivalent and then are processed to get stored in the iamge pixel. The language used for this
process is python with some of its in-built libraries. For the image we use PIL(i.e. PYTHON IMAGING
LIBRARY). Steganography usually deal with the way of hide the existence of communicated data in
such a way that it remains confidential. It maintain secrecy between the two communicating bodies.
Secrecy are achieved In the image steganography, by embedded data into the cover images and
generating a stego-images.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

What is Steganography?
The word stegano mean cover and graphical mean write. Thus Stegano and
graphy both combine together to make the process in which we hide the important
information inside the image using some encoding technique. This process not
only hides the data it also hides the communication which means others will not
known whether the communication is taking place or not.
Steganography is the secret process of which nobody can known of except the one who
is encoding the secret message inside the image(i.e. Sender) and the other for whom
the message is being encoded(i.e. reciever). In other words it is also known as the
study of unperceivable communication.
Steganography is the process in which the image is input by the user and after
encoding it with the secret data a STEGO-image is generated. Which is slighlty
change from the original image but the difference in unnoticible.
In the current time, Steganography is used in many places and one of the
important example is Army duty stations. This is the place where steganography
is the only safe medium to use, because they don‟t want there secret information
to be shared with the ones across the border.
Similar of this process can be seen back in the ancient times where the king use to bald his
commander head so that he can write some information on it and hide it with something
that doesn‟t generate any suspects.

 The above pictured diagram can be summed up to image steganography. The
secret message is the important information which user wants to hide. Cover is
the image which will be used to hide the data. The algorithm used will combine
these two and will generate a secret key without which nobody can access the
information not even the reciever.

Applications of steganography
1. Confidential communication.
2. Protection of data alteration.
3.
4. E-commerce.
5. Media
6. Database system.
7. Digital watermarking.

HISTORY
The first record of steganography technique was recorded in 440BC. Aristagoras
was sent by his leader histiaeus, by shaving the leader of his most confided
worker, writing the messages onto his scalp and send him out after his hair was
regrown. He was sent with full guidance of what to do, when he steps out from
here.

Steganography principle

Secret message is covered into the cover of the object by a secret hiding algorithm
and are sent to a receiver end. Then receiver applies the reverse acting process on
the cover image and reveals the secret info.
The secret message is then covered into the cover image using the steganographic
algo in a way that do not changes the actual image. The results are now into a new
image, the stego-image, which is not different from the original image. From the
third party view, but there exist a secret msg. The purpose of using image is of not
important, it present only as a carrier for hidden msg. The secret message is
embedded into the cover object by steganographic algorithm and are sent to a
receiver ends. The receiver then performs the reverse action on the cover image
by doing so it can achieve the secret data. The Suitable image, known the cover
or carrier, are chosen. The secret message is then embedded inside the cover by
using the steganographic algorithm, in a particular way that do not changes the
original image info in any human visible way. The results are now in new image,
the stegoimage, that are not viewed different from the original info.
Almost any file type can be used for this process, but the type that is more
convienent are those having redundancy very large. The redundant bits of an
target is those bit that could be altered without the visible changes. Image and
audio files especially comply with this need. Since, images are quite famous
cover or carrier target used for steganography. In the range of digital images
many other image file format exist, For those different image file format, other
steganographic algorithm exist The secret message is embedded into the cover
object by steganographic algorithm and are sent to a receiver side. The receiver
then performs the reverse action on the stego image and reveals the secret info.
The embedding, i.e. steganography algorithms, tries to save the perceptive type of
the original images. The Suitable image, known the cover or carrier, are chosen.
The secret message is then embedded inside the cover by using the
steganographic algorithm, in a particular way that do not changes the original
image info in any human perceptible way. The results are new images, the stego-
image, that are not viewed different from the original info. From an observer‟s
view, the being of a secret message are (visibly) out of sight. The purpose of
using image is of not importance, it serve only and only as a carrier for out of
sight message

Summary: The first task is to open the software. In our case this software asks
for authentication so every user have to enter there username and passwords for
the security purpose. If the id-pass matches.
Four options get available in-front of user as :
1. Input the message.
2. Input the cover-image.
3. Generate a stego-image.
4. Generate a secret key.
5. Send image to the receiver.
6. Abort.
7. Help.
A use case diagram helps the devloper to know how the user will interact with the
software. First user enters the secret message that he/she wants to share
anonymously. After this he/she inputs the picture and after validiating the image
size and data size information gets covered up inside picture and a stego image is
generated. At the other end(i.e. receiver‟s end), receiver gets the stego-image(i.e.
generated image) and applies the reverse formula it. After that only the secret
content could be achieved.

 Chapter 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

Electronic communications are the lifeline of many organisation.

So to keep our lifeline in good hands we need to keep Most of the information
communicated on the daily basis private. Information such as financial report
and data of an employee need to be transffered in a way that ensure privacy.

2.1 Basics of Cryptography

Cryptography is the process in which user try to communicate secretly in front of
the adversaries. In cryptography except encoding and decoding the most
important feature is cryptographic hash. In order to encode the secret message by
the sender and to decrypt the secret message by the receiver they both should use
the same secret key which was generated by the algorithm. This could be done on
any messages that user wants to share secretly, such as sending e-mail privately.
Hashing in cryptography is a processes of generating a fix length strings from a
user entered message.
The three basic type of cryptography most common useds are cryptographic hash
function, asymmetric keys system and Symmetric keys ,the strengths of
cryptographic system are directly proportional to the length of the key. This clears
the fact that the key was picked randomly each and eveyr time the user enetr the
secret data. There are many kind of attack that could be used against a
cryptographic systems.

Cryptography drawbacks
• A strong encrypt, authentic, and digitally signed information could be
difficult to access even for a legitimates user at a crucial time of
decisionmaking. The systems or the PC frameworks could be assaulted
plus rendered non-utilitarian by an mediator.
• High availabilities, one of the fundamental aspect of information security,
could not be ensured through the uses of cryptographic techniques.
Different strategies is expected to make preparations for the danger, for
eg, forswearing of administration or complete breakdowns of data
framework.
• Other than the cryptographic algorithm we need to get the administratice
security to guard the system..
• Cryptography is the process which helps us in sending the secret data
privately but does not guard us from the bad system vulnerabilities.

11
Basics of Steganography

Steganography mainly aims to hide secret data into a cover image which was
input by the user in such a way that no third party will be able to detect the
presence of communication by just viewing the image. This process is way
different than watermarking, In this process we convert the every bit of input
message into its binary equivallent and then iter through each pixel and change
that value according to the corresponding binary value of the message.
Secret message is covered into the cover of the object by a secret hiding algorithm
and are sent to a receiver hand. Then receiver apply the reverse acting process on
the cover info and reveal the secret info.
The important secret message entered by the user is then covered with the image
which is also input by the user and then using the steganographic algorithms in a
way that do not change the actual image when viewed by some third party. The
results are now into a new image, the stego-image, that are not view different
from the original image but carries a very important information. the existence of
a secret message is visibly only to the receiver when the secret key is entered
correctly. The purpose of using image is of no important, it present only as a
carrier for hidden msg, like an envelope. The secret information is embedded into
the cover image by steganographic algorithm and then sent to the receiver. The
receiver then performs the reverse action on the cover image and reveals the
secret message.
Almost any file type could be used for steganography, but the type that is more
suitable are those with a large degree of redundancy. Redundancy could be
known as the bit of an target that provide correct far greater than important for the
object‟s use and display. The redundant bits of an target is those bit that could be
altered without the alteration being known easily. Image and audio files especially
comply with this need, while research had also open other file type that could be
used for info hiding. There are four main type of file formats that could be used
for steganography. Since, images are quite famous cover or carrier target used for
steganography. In the range of digital images many other image file format exist,
most of them for particular applications. For those different image file format,
other steganographic algorithm exist. The secret message is embedded into the
cover object by out of sight algorithm and are sent to a receiver side. The receiver
then performs the reverse action on the cover info and reveals the secret info. The
embedding, i.e. steganography algorithms, tries to save the perceptive type of the
original images. The Suitable image, known the cover or carrier, are chosen. The
secret message is then embedded inside the cover by using the steganographic
algorithm, in a particular way that do not changes the original image info in any
human perceptible way. The results are new images, the stego-image, that are not
viewed different from the original info. From an observer‟s view, the being of a
secret message are (visibly) out of sight. The purpose of using image is of not
importance, it serve only and only as a carrier for out of sight message.

2.3 STEGANOGRAPHY VS LSB ALGORITHM
Byte of each pixel holds one messages bit. Rest of the bit in the pixel continues as
before. Steganography is the secret process of which nobody can known of except
the one who is encoding the secret message inside the image(i.e. Sender) and the
other for whom the message is being encoded(i.e. reciever). In other words
Steganography is also known as the study of unperceivable communication.
The term steganography are gotten from Greek and true implies secure
composing. Steganography system consist of three elements: COVER-IMAGES,
THE SECRET MESSAGES and the STEGA-IMAGE.
Digital image are described using a 2-D matrices of the colours intestines at each
grid points. Typically, grey image use 8-bit.

Chapter 3: REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

13
3.1 FUNCTIONALS REQUIREMENTS

The ways in which the system works:

• Login. Login function will help the system in order to check both the
receiver and sender authenticity, if the entered detail is correct the system
will move to encoding phase otherwise it will exit from the system.
• Secret information: In this process the sender have two options whether it
could upload the secret data file or it could write it.
• Cover image : cover image is the image which is chossen for the process,
in this the secret message will get hidden.
• Sender: The person who wants to send the secret infromayyion to
someone with the help of steganographic system.
• Receiver : Receiver receives the stego image and after system validates
the autheticity it opens the option for decrypting the image to get the
hidden text inside that stego-image.

3.2 NON-FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Safety requirements:
For the safety purpose the sender and receiver should have the
same software to encrypt an decrypt the message and the secret key
generated by the algorithm should not be shared with other than the
receiver.
• Security requirements:
As the software hides the secret information so it should not get
into wrong hands.
• Software quality attributes:
The quality of the software is a very important issue which
maintained in such a way that the communication can only be take place
with the help of image between sender and receiver.

Chapter 4: IMAGE STEGANOGRAPHY

4.1 Types of steganography
4.1.1 Text steganography

This is a method in which we hide the secret information inside the other text
file, the main motive in this process is to share our secret information with the
help of another normal message which doesn‟t get suspicious. .

There are a lot of strategies which is accessible for embedding information in text
file. Text steganography could be acheived by changing some text organizing, or
by adjusting quality of several component. The goal into devlop a coding method
that is reliably decode able yet largely different to the reader point of view. The
three coding technique that we propose illustrate different approaches rather than
form an exhaustive list of documents marketing technique. This technique could
be used either separately or joint. These are as follows:

15
• Word-move coding: This is a method in which a changing of record is
done by a level plane relacing the words area inside the content line to
encoded the report perfectly.
• Line-move coding: This is a technique in which we change a record by
vertically moving the content line areas to encoded the archive
extraordinarily.
• Feature-coding: This is a methodin which we either apply to a format file
„r‟ or to a bitmaps images of a file.

4.1.3 Audio steganography

Inisound steganography, we insert mystery messageiinto digitized sound sign which
output slight modifying of double grouping of the relating sound document. There are
a few strategies are accessible for sound steganography. We will have a short report
presentation on some of sound. It includes concealing knowledge in sound documents.
This techniques shrouds the information in WAV, AU and MP3 sound records. There
are many type of strategies for sound steganography. These techniques are:

1. Lower bit encoding.

2. Phase en-coding.
3. Spread spectrums.

16
4.1.4 Video steganography
It is a method of steganography in which we hide the secret infromation inside the
video file. In this discrete co-sine transforms is used to alter the digit which are used
to hide the info in each of the image in the videos, which can only be detected by
some software but is unnoticeable by the humans eye.
Configurations utilized by videos steganography are Mp4, MPEG, AVI.

4.2 STEGANOGRAPHY IN IMAGES

Storing data inside picture is a famous procedure these day. An Image with a mystery
messages inside is spreading over the WWW very fast. The utilizations of
steganography in source group had been inquired about by German Stenographic
master Niels provos, he made a calculating bunch which recognize the nearness of
shroud message inside picture that was posted on the net. In any case, subsequent to
check one million pictures for info, no one concealed message was found, so the very
down utilization of steganography still are by all accounts constrained. Image
steganography is the procedure for storing the data inside the picture so that it doesn‟t
get showed up to unintended client from the recognition of the shrouded messages or
information. To hide a message inside a picture without changing its properties in
such a manner that it can‟t get noticed, the source should be maintained in loud areas
with many varieties, so that less consideration will get attracted to the alteration. The
most widely recognized techniques is LSB to change on the spread picture. These
systems could be utilized with fluctuating degrees of accomplishment on various types
of image record. Image steganography is performed on images and the concerning
17
secret data which is likewise unscrambled to recover the message picture. Since this
should be possible in a few different ways, picture steganography are contemplated
and one of the strategies are utilized to show it. Picture steganography alludes to
concealing data. The present undertaking means to utilize steganography for a picture
with
another picture utilizing spatial space strategy. This shrouded data could be recovered
uniquely through legitimate translating procedure.

18
Chapter-5 : HOW IT WORKS
5.1 Technical details are as follows:
Using python imaging library (PIL) for importing the image inside the compiler.

• 1) from PIL import IMAGE.

2) img=image.open(path).

• Interfaces is build into the packages contain all the required classes and
method which is necessary for any changes made in the image.

5.1.2 The encoding phase

The steganography‟s method performed in LSB coding. The offset of the cover-
image which has to perform is retrieved from its header. That offset is left as it is to
preserve the integrity of the header, and from the next bytes, the encoding process gets
started to hide the secret information. For this process, the first task will be to get the
input carrier files which have to perform for the process.

Fig: (vi) encoding process

19
 5.1.3 User spaces
• User spaces are created in order to save the original files, So that all the changes which are
necessary is done in this.
• In the object of I/p Image, using img=image.open(path) methods we took the original image.

5.1.4 The decoding process

The offset of the image are retrieved from its header. Create the user space
using the same process as in the encoding. The data of image are taken
into byte array. And above byte array are written into the decoded text
file, which leads to the original mess
age.

Chapter 6: BRIEF ALGORITHM IMPLEMENTATION

6.1 LSB (Lease significant bit)

There are two kinds of method for the process of image steganography:

• Transform method
• Spatial method
The method we used is Spatial method
In this process, the one of most commonly used method are LSB substitution
methods. LSB methods are a very easy way in order to put data in a cover image for
the process. In steganography, LSB substitute form are mostly used. Since every
images has three component (RED, GREEN, BLUE). This pixel info is then saved in
original format in one bytes each. The 1st bit store secret info for each and every pixel
could be changed to store the hidden info.
The secret infromation has to be the same size as of the image or it can be smaller
also. The (LSB) based method is a spatial methods But when we talk about noise
deduction technique this method is vulnerable. The (most significant bit) of the data
images is to be stored in the LSB of the images(i.e. cover images.) It are true that the
pixel in an image is store in the form of bit.
The change could not be detect by human visuals system (HVS) w.r.t intensity and
color of a pixels. When we change the LSB bits.Algorithms of LSB methods of

20
steganography, embedding phases and extracting phases these are two phase of LSB
method. Algorithms are given below for both of the phases:

ENCODING PHASE:

Step 1: Array name (image_array) store all the pixel from the i/p image and extract Step2:
Array called (message_array) save text files of all extract messsage.
Step3: Character retrieved from the stego-keys is to be saved in an array called
key_array. A stego- key or secret key is the pair of alphabets or numbers which is
used to prove the authenticity of the user. This key is generally with sender and
receiver only.
Step4: From keys-array the first pixel and character is used and gets placed in the first
component of the image pixels. If there is some left characters in keys-array, then it
also gets placed into the LSB of upcoming pixel.
Step5: The end of the key is filled with with some digit that is either even or odd depending upon
the value.
Step 6: place each word of the message array in each components of upcoming pixel by
replacing it.
Step 7: Repeat step six until all the words gets placed.
Step 8: Again if it ends the place some encoding symbol to indicate end of the character.
Step 9: All the i/p character will be hide after the process done. The most
straightforward steganography procedures insert the bit of the message legitimately
into least huge piece planes of the spread pic in a deterministic succession. Balancing
the least noteworthy piece do not bring about human-recognizable distinction on the
grounds that the sufficiency of the changes are little. To shroud a mystery message
inside a pic, a legitimate spread picture are required. Since this strategy utilizes bits of
every pixel in the picture, it is important to utilize a lossy pressure position, generally
the shrouded data will become mixed up in the change of a loosy pressure calculation.
When using a 24 piece shading pic, a touch of every single one of the red, green and
blue shading part can be utilized, so an aggregate of 3 bit can be put away in every
pixels. For instances, the accompanying matrices can be consider as 3 pixel of a 24
piece shading pic, utilizing 9 byte of main memory.
(00100111 11101001 11001000) (00100111
11001000 11101001)
(11001000 00100111 11101001)
When the character H, which binary value equals 01101000, are inserted, the following
(00100111 11101000 11001000)
(00100110 11001000 11101000)
(11001000 00100111 11101001)

21
Fig(vii)activity diagram(i)

22
6.1.2 Filtering and masking method

23
In this method we normally iter through each pixel and change it according to the
corresponding message bit such that the cover image doesn‟t change in a noticible manner,the
last pixel of each word is made odd and even respectively in order to know the ending of each
and every word in an image.In this method the main motive is to hide the data in such a
manner that the tiny change in the color of the image is not visible by the third party. In other
words the image should look like the old image itself.

Advantages of steganography
• Difficult to detect by someone who doesn‟t know about this
communication, whether the transaction is taking place or not.
• In order to view the hidden message user should have to enter the secret
key which was generated using the steganographic algorithm.
• Easy to implement with the help of LSB algorithm.
• Can be used in arm forces and intelligence agencies.

Disadvantages of steganography
• Sender and receiver should have the same software to encrypt or
decrypt message.
• If encryption key is lost, then important information will be lost too.
• The cover image used should have size greater than the message
bytes.
• Hidden information can be viewed by attackers if proper encryption
algorithm used.

• Encryption may effect luminance of the cover image.

27
Conclusion

• Steganography is still in it‟s nascent age.

• The importance of steganography has not been noticed yet, where it
is preferred over all its close rival for “Encryption”.
It is analysed that time is not far away when the importance of
steganograohy would be realized by organizations and the arm forces in
particular. Until then New technique are being discovered and
implemented.

2016 I realized that it was possible to use zero-width characters, like zero-width non-joiner or other
zero-width characters like the zero-width space to fingerprint text. Even with just a single type of
zero-width character the presence or non-presence of the non-visible character is enough bits to
fingerprint even the shortest text.
