Through the title many of us doesn’t hear the term but some of us heard the term but can’t know what it is used for. Once you read this article you will definitively find the answer to your questions. In this one, some of them know the full details about it, for those who know about this one, are the exceptional cases ok. Let’s move on, this steganography is also one of the security concepts and invented to maintain the secrecy of the content, it can be widely used for many years. At the same time, it will also place a vital role in our daily life. What is uses in our daily life but I don’t know about it? How is it possible?
It’s
possible, in the technical fled. Because in many of the technology we are used
is unaware of us. We use those to make our life easier but we can’t pay any
attention to how they work and which technology it is based. Same like that it is
also used by all smartphone users but they can’t be aware of it. I think the
following real-life example will definitely help you to understand it better.
Have you
ever used the QR code in your day?
What a stupid question is this? All of us used this one while making payments,
learning, etc.
OK, you are
all know about it. Now the next question, have ever think about how it works?
No, I think
the code contains some information about what we need.
Yes, you are
right. The QR code contains the information that we need. But how is it
possible? While we looking at the code it simply looks like square boxes. But each
of those holds the details about the content we searched for. And this one is
possible through the steganography technique. I think now you have some basic
idea about the concept. But once you read the full article you will definitely
understand the concept thoroughly.
Ok as the
blog rules first we have to look at the definition part, steganography is nothing
but the process of hiding information into another piece of information like
text, image, audio, or video clips. Here I remember one thing that is invisible
ink. We have all seen this one in many movies did you believe it is also one of the
steganography techniques.
Here most of
we have one doubt that it is one of the oldest technologies why did you choose this
one for today’s article and what is the negative side? I think it is a very
useful one even it has a negative side then what is it?
Wait!! The answer
for this one will be very clear once you read this one fully. So the definition
part is over, let’s move on to the working process.
Well in the
world of cybersecurity, steganography is the technique of hiding secret data
within a non-secret, ordinary file or message to avoid being detected. The art
and science of steganography is masking (hiding) information by embedding
messages within something that may seem harmless. The most popular way of hiding
is to hide the content into the least significant bit (LSB) of the concealing
medium, so once the data is hidden then the appropriate receiver will read the
message others are only seen the visible medium.
Here some of
you think that then cryptography and steganography are the same?
No, definitely
not. In cryptography, we use the secret keys for encrypting and decrypting the
information if they know the key, then they will easily encrypt the content
whereas steganography is a form of data hiding and can be executed in
cleverer ways. Where cryptography is the science that largely enables privacy –
steganography is a practice that enables secrecy – and deceit.
Now you are all
have the idea about the major things of the steganography technique. The only
unanswered question here is why I choose this one and what is the negative side
of steganography? Both will be answered as follows:
I think you all read our previous article, Phishing right. If you do not, then use the following link.
PLEASE READ: Phishing: The Beginners Guide
In that one
we all know that the malicious code was hidden inside the legitimate medium
right. This statement alone makes me furious that how is it possible? But after
I heard the answer to this question it makes me very wondered. Because the
answer to this question is steganography. All of you are surprised right. Because many
of us will know this one early, but we can’t imagine that this one will also be used by cybercriminals. Same like you I’m also very shocked after read
about this. Now you all understand why I chose this one right.
“Nothing is perfect”
Right. Thank
