INTRODUCTION
In the age of technology, the “internet” is the major
component that is used to connect the whole world.
The information or data that we share on the internet is
not secure at all due to hackers and intruders.
The prime attack on the information is a loss of
confidential information or modification of this information
that is called confidentiality and Integrity.

WHAT IS SECURITY?

Freedom from risk, doubt or fear

Something that assures safety
SECURITY

 SECURITY GOALS

Confidentiality:
information needs to be hidden from unauthorized access
Integrity:
protected from unauthorized change
Authentication:
the communicating entity is the one that it claims to be

CRYPTOGRAPHY & STEGANOGRAPHY
Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for
secure communication in the presence of third parties
called Intruders or Hackers.

Steganography is the practice of concealing a file,

message, image, audio or video within another file,
message, image, audio or video.

TYPES OF STEGANOGRAPHY ACCORDING TO
CARRIER:
There are four types of steganography according to the
carrier. These are
text steganography
image steganography
audio/video steganography
protocol steganography

TYPES OF STEGANOGRAPHY WITH RESPECT TO
DOMAIN:
spatial domain
transform/frequency
domain

ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE REVIEW
Literature review shows that now a days researchers
working the combination of cryptography and
steganography techniques to secure the data over the
internet.
It also shows that if we focus on capacity, then we have to
compromise on security to some extent. If we focus on the
security, then we have to compromise on capacity to some
extent.

CONCLUSION
The combination of cryptography and steganography
enhances their strengths and overcomes each other’s
weaknesses. Which gives more security and make it
difficult for the third person to access or steal the
confidential information.

LIMITATIONS & FUTURE WORK
The limitation of our work is that we deal with image
steganography. There are some other domains of
steganography like text steganography, audio/video
steganography and protocol steganography.
The analysis shows that there is a tradeoff between
security and capacity of the hidden data. So, in future
research, we have to develop a combined cryptography
and steganography technique which overcome the
weaknesses of these algorithms.
