Abstract
In the modern digital era, sensitive data transmitted over the internet is vulnerable to interception. While Encryption (like AES or RSA) secures the content of a message, it does not hide the fact that a secret message is being sent. This can make the sender a target for attackers. STEGOSECURE solves this by hiding the data in plain sight within image files, providing an extra layer of "Security through Obscurity."
STEGOSECURE is a modern web-based application designed to enhance data privacy through Image Steganography. Unlike traditional encryption, which renders data unreadable and draws attention to the existence of a secret, steganography conceals the very presence of information by embedding it within a digital carrier— in this case, an image.
