It has been tested on MS Windows and Linux, + but should not have any problem on other platforms too. Please + report bugs if you find any. + - It supports password-based encryption of data for additional + layer of security. DES algorithm is used for data encryption, + along with MD5 hashing to derive the DES key from the password + provided. + - It uses a plugin based architecture, where various plugins can + be created for different kind of Steganographic algorithms. + Currently, it supports two plugins - LSB (Using Least Significant + Bit of Image Pixels) and RandomLSB (Randomized LSB), but new + plugins can be created for other algorithms like DCT, FFT, etc. + Plugins can also be easily added for other type of cover files + like Audio files. + - LSB plugins support only 24 bpp images. Support for additional + image formats (like BMP, TIF, etc.) could be added by installing + Java Advanced Imaging (JAI). + - LSB plugins also support generation of random images containing + noise to be used as cover file. The size of the generated random + image is the minimum possible size required to embed the given data. |
