Abstract: Steganography is the art and science of sending covert messages such that the existence and nature of such a message is only known by the sender and intended recipient. The process of hiding the information in other information without altering is known as Steganography. It is the art of hiding message inside a multimedia block. Attacks, misuse or unauthorized access of information is of great concern today which makes the protection of documents through digital media is a priority problem. Digital images are widely used in order to store the information. For hiding secret information in images, there exists a large variety of techniques. Some applications may require absolute invisibility of secret information, while some require large secret message to be hidden. This project report intends to give an overview of image Steganography, its uses and techniques. It also attempts to identify the requirements of a good steganography algorithm and briefly reflects on which steganographic techniques are more suitable for which applications.
