Manoj Kumar, A. Antony Viswasa Rani · 2013
Steganography is an art of hiding information in innocuous looking cover objects. The main goal of steganography is to avoid drawing intuition about transmission of message. The terms ‘Steganography’ and ‘Steganalysis’ are used in information hiding process. Steganography basically deals with hiding information in digital media while steganalysis is the method of detecting the presence of hidden message in it. The term ‘Steganography’ is often confused with ‘Cryptography’ which converts message into indecipherable form. Progress made in the field of steganography in terms of using different multimedia files such as images, audio, video, text files as cover objects for hiding information is attracting more people to work in this area.
