What is Steganography?
Steganography is the art and science of embedding secret messages in cover message in such a way that no one,
apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message
Sender ReceiverIntruder will not get to know of the
existence of secret message

Least Significant Bit Steganography - Demo
1 Loads an image and looks at each pixels in hexadecimal value.
2 Converts secret text into bits and stores them in LSB of pixel bits
3 A delimiter is added to the end of the edited pixel values
4
To encode the text into image
To decode the text from image
While retrieving all the 0’s and 1’s extracted until delimiter is found.
Extracted bits are converted into string(secret message)
