The main objective of the project entitled Steganography is to provide security for a text file.
The objectives of data security are to prevent eavesdropping to get access of data and in case is stolen, make it
difficult to understand the stolen data. These objectives are met through different approaches of data security
Steganographic techniques are useful to convey hidden information by using various types of typically transmitted text
data as cover for concealed communication. Steganography is a data-hiding/hidden-communication method that uses
digital imagery as a cover signal.
The present project deals with design and Implementation of Data Security over corporate network
using IDEA algorithm for image encryption with cryptography. The image encryption is incorporated into the
compression algorithm for transmission over a data network
Cryptography is a method of mathematical encoding used to transform messages into an unreadable format in and
effort to maintain confidentiality of data.
In corporate network of clients/server need to interact with each other and parallel maintain the confidentially of data.
Before transmission of the encrypts it using the IDEA algorithm and is then sent on the network. The receiver before
reading the file needs to decrypt
it using the same algorithm to get the actual data. The keys needed to
Drawbacks:
There is no confidentiality to TEXT file data in transmission of the file in the networks.
There is no authentication to the TEXT file.
The intruders may attack the TEXT file.
Lake of Integrity, Access Control and Availability.
It will take more space in the transmission of the TEXT file.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
OVER VIEW:
The proposed system is based on cryptography features to the TEXT file. The TEXT file selected is converted into
bitmap image file using algorithms. The proposed system takes TEXT file and Encryption key as input and gives
encrypted Bmp file based on the selection of specified algorithm techniques. This system provides security services
and the conversion to the TEXT file.
Advantages:
This system provides security service like Confidentiality.
The system provides compression to the TEXT file.
The system maintains same format after providing security features.
The system performs its operations in the fallowing conditions:
