The
main goal of steganography is to communicate in
a hidden way without being detected. It is a
data hiding technique that has been used in the
applications of information protection. The
steganography aims to smuggle a private message
by embedding it into an innocent-looking object
and thus creating an invisible communication
channel. In the digital world, the
innocent-looking objects can be images, audio,
or video files. Many steganographic methods have
been invented in the field of digital images,
especially JPEG format since it is the most
popular on the internet. |

M4JPEG project aims to build and develop a
Matlab-compiled steganography tool working in
the field of JPEG images. The provided M4JPEG
tool lets the user hide a private file within a
JPEG image using an adaptive steganographic
method called Mod4. The installation of Matlab
IDE is not required before running M4JPEG. Thus,
the user doesn't need to be a Matlab expert
since M4JPEG is a standalone piece of software.
Running the software just needs the installation of the
Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR), which will
be installed automatically by the installer of
M4JPEG. The
provided tool can be installed easily and has
friendly graphical user interfaces. |
