Advanced Implementation of Steganography to Improve Hiding Capacity

Abstract

In today's day and age, the need for private communication has been increased. The outcry over security agencies snooping on our personal data underlines the need of more secure means of transferring data. This is where steganography comes into picture. Here we will focus on a particular technique of steganography called F5 Algorithm which is one of the newer techniques. Steganography is the act of hiding important information, a message or file, inside another file so that it is undetected by any eavesdroppers. Earlier methods of Steganography were weak against visual and statistical attacks, F5 shields against all such attacks while offering large steganographic capacity.
