Data Hiding and Storing using Steganography

Abstract

In today’s world, the communication is the basic necessity of every growing area. Everyone wants the
secrecy and safety of their communicating data. The purpose of our project is to hide the message and prevent the
detection of hidden message by using Steganography. It maintains secrecy between two communicating parties.
Steganography is the practice of hiding private or sensitive information within something that appears to be nothing
out to the usual. Steganography is often confused with cryptology because the two are similar in the way that they
both are used to protect important information. The difference between two is that steganography involves hiding
information so it appears that no information is hidden at all. If a person or persons views the object that the
information is hidden inside of he or she will have no idea that there is any hidden information, therefore the person
will not attempt to decrypt the information. The most common use of steganography is to hide a file inside another
file.
