Steghide is a steganography program that is able to hide data in various kinds of image- and audio-files.
Steghide employs an algorithm which is undetectable by color-frequency based statistical tests.
Steghide uses a graph-theoretic approach to steganography.
The default encryption algorithm is Rijndael with a key size of 128 bits (which is AES – the advanced encryption standard) in the cipher block chaining mode.
Key Features
- Compression of embedded data.
- Encryption of embedded data.
- Embedding of a checksum to verify the integrity of the extracted data.
- Support for JPEG, BMP, WAV and AU files.
