Steganography and cryptography are critical components of network security Network security has emerged as an essential part of today's communication infrastructure. Steganography is the practice of hiding secret information in regular files These files can be image files, audio, or video It is in such a way that only the intended recipient knows of its existence Unlike encryption, steganography conceals the fact that there is any hidden information at all.
While cryptography focuses on encrypting data to render it unreadable, steganography aims to hide the existence of the data itself, making it inconspicuous within an image. Steganography is the art and science of concealing information within another file or message, making it invisible to anyone who doesn’t know where to look Unlike encryption, which scrambles a message into unreadable ciphertext, steganography hides the very existence of the message itself. Steganography is the practice of concealing a message within another medium, such as an image, audio file, or text The primary goal is to hide the existence of the message itself Hides the message in a cover medium
Can be used for covert communication Does not typically secure the message itself. Unlike encryption, which makes data unreadable but visible, steganography hides the very existence of the secret information.
