Abstract

Steganography is the technique of hiding confidential information within multi-media. People often get confused among steganography and cryptography because both of them are similar in the way that they are used to protect confidential information. The difference between the two is in the appearance in the processed output; the output of steganography operation is not apparently visible but in cryptography the output is scrambled so that it can draw attention
