A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES FOR CONCEALING INFORMATION

In this study, we delve into the realm of steganography, an influential technique employed to conceal information within various forms of media, such as images, audio, video, and text. Steganography offers a notable advantage by enabling the covert hiding of messages, thereby avoiding the potential scrutiny that encrypted messages might invite. By utilizing this technology, we ensure not only the safeguarding of message content but also the preservation of the anonymity of those engaged in communication. This makes steganography an invaluable tool for ensuring secure communication and discreet exchange of information. The study investigates the fundamental characteristics of steganography, encompassing its security aspects, capacity for data concealment, and ability to withstand adversarial attacks. Additionally, it emphasizes the practical implications of its usage in safeguarding data, facilitating secure communication, and ensuring secrecy, particularly within corporate, governmental, and law enforcement domains. The field of steganography is constantly progressing alongside technological advancements, adapting to novel obstacles and prospects in safeguarding the confidentiality and integrity of information within our globally interconnected society.
