Abstract

Steganography is the art of hiding messages or files in a way that prevents the detection of the existence of these hidden messages. It encompasses several techniques, including physical methods like invisible ink on paper and digital techniques like hiding text on multimedia files like images and music files. In the modern digital era, steganography has become a useful tool to evade detection and perusal of secret messages. With the advent of social media, it is very easy to encode a message or file onto an image and upload it online for the intended recipients to access, decode, and read or use. In this case of digital steganography of messages or files onto images, an important factor to consider is the effect of image compression on the hidden message. Since most social media and other online image posting websites run some sort of compression, cropping, and other image transformations on the uploaded images, understanding these techniques and their effect on the hidden text can help one choose the most suitable steganography technique to use for a particular use case.
