Steganography

Steganography is a method of encryption that is used to securely transfer message encrypted within an image. The LSB steganography technique is a common and popularly used technique but is quiet vulnerable to frequency attacks and therefore less secure. In this project, I attempt to build a program that relies on the message itself to choose the bits to encrypt and therefore it is much less vulnerable to failre due to frequency attacks. The project contains a encoder and decoder method that can be accessed from the main method.

Please note that the idea behind the project is not mine and i donot own the copyright to this research paper.I have just tried to implememnt the idea which can be found in this publication[1].
