    Hiding Data in Images: Steganography Part 1

    Uploaded by

    Dr Phil
    Steganography is the practice of hiding data within other data. This document discusses hiding one image inside another image by making minor changes to pixel values. Pixels have red, green, and blue components that each range from 0-255. By making small changes like changing a value from 240 to 255, hidden data can be encoded in an image without noticeable visual differences. The document provides an example of how decimal values from one image could be hidden in the pixel values of another image.

    Hiding Data in Images

    Steganography Part 1
    Steganography to Explore Coding
    • Steganography is the hiding of data in an
    image or other digital artifact
    • Originally not digital, invisible ink, wax tablets
    • Hiding text requires more math than images

    Steganography High Level
    • Big idea: Hide information in image
    • Your goal: one image in another
    • Minor numerical change: look same
    • Need to do in binary, not decimal
    • 0 to 255, not 0 to 9999
