Study of Various Steganography Tools
Dushyant Kundu, Amit Upreti · 2018
Steganography and Steganalysis are the two most important topics when it comes to information hiding. Steganography is the craftsmanship or innovation which alludes to concealing information into advanced media so as not to stimulate doubt while Steganalysis is just the opposite that is detecting the presence of steganography. Steganography is often confused with cryptography because both of them are utilized to secure data, but they work in very different manner. The fundamental contrast is that steganography includes concealing data such that it gives the idea that there is no data covered up by any stretch of the imagination. In order to provide better protection to data over a network, many steganography techniques and tools have been developed by researchers. So in this paper comparative study of different open-source steganography tools and their approaches is presented. The different techniques on the basis of some parameters like strengths, weaknesses, Embedding technique, hiding rate have been discussed. The advantage of one technique over other depends upon the type of application and its requirements.
