Introduction

Steganography is a term for processes that hide information within some medium. For example, the microdot images used by spies during the Cold War were a kind of steganography. In recent years, steganography with computers has grown in popularity because of the ability to more easily place steganographic data within images, audio files, etc. This project's goal is to develop and investigate methods for hiding text messages in computer image files.
