Secure File Sharing System Using Image Steganography and Cryptography Techniques
Utkarsh Raj, Chella Perumal Maheswaran · 2023
Secure file sharing is a critical aspect in the digital world, where confidential information must be protected from unauthorized access. This research study presents a system to integrate image steganography and cryptography techniques to enhance the security of file sharing. The system uses image steganography to hide the secret file within an image cover file, and then applies cryptography algorithms to encrypt the image cover file. The encrypted image cover file is then shared securely between the sender and receiver. The receiver can retrieve secret file by first decrypting the encrypted image cover file and then extracting the secret file from the image cover file using steganography techniques. This system provides high security for file sharing by combining the strengths of both steganography and cryptography.
