Steganography – Hiding

Information in the Image


A Project on Digital Image-based
Data Hiding
Introduction
• Steganography is the technique of hiding
information within other non-secret data.
• In this project, we hide messages inside digital
images using the Least Significant Bit (LSB)
method.
• Unlike cryptography, steganography hides the
existence of the message itself.
Objectives
• - Understand steganography and its
importance
• - Implement image-based steganography in
Python
• - Hide and retrieve messages in image files
• - Evaluate LSB method's effectiveness
• - Maintain image quality after data embedding
Tools & Technologies
• - Language: Python
• - Libraries: PIL, NumPy
• - Optional GUI: Tkinter
• - Image Format: PNG (lossless)
• - IDEs: Jupyter Notebook, VS Code, or
PyCharm
LSB Method Overview
• Each image pixel contains RGB values (0-255).
• We modify the least significant bit of each
color channel to store the message.
• This method is visually lossless and efficient
for hiding short texts.
Encoding Function (Python)
• def encode_message(image_path, message,
output_path):
• img = Image.open(image_path)
• binary = ''.join(format(ord(c), '08b') for c in
message) + '11111110'
• pixels = img.load()
• idx = 0
• for y in range(img.height):
• for x in range(img.width):
Decoding Function (Python)
• def decode_message(image_path):
• img = Image.open(image_path)
• pixels = img.load()
• bits = ''
• for y in range(img.height):
• for x in range(img.width):
• r, g, b = pixels[x, y]
• bits += str(r & 1)
• chars = [bits[i:i+8] for i in range(0, len(bits),
Applications
• - Secure communication
• - Watermarking
• - Metadata embedding
• - Digital forensics and investigations
Limitations
• - LSB is vulnerable to compression
• - Message capacity is limited by image size
• - Not secure against advanced steganalysis
Future Scope
• - Audio/Video steganography
• - Combine with encryption
• - Build GUI tools
• - Explore DCT/DWT-based methods
Conclusion
• We successfully implemented LSB-based
steganography.
• Messages were embedded and retrieved from
images without visible distortion.
• It is a simple yet powerful method of secure
communication.
• Future developments can enhance its
robustness and usability.
