Abstract:
A Steganography algorithm is used to hide data from third party in such a way that people are unable to detect the existence of the hidden message inside the stego image. This algorithm is used to maintain the confidentiality of valuable information, and to protect the data from possible sabotage, theft, or unauthorized viewing. Before mobile services, the stego image is sent via e-mail. The recipients have to be connected to Internet and log into their mailbox to download the stego image. This paper introduces a mobile application named MoBiSiS (Mobile Steganography Imaging System). MoBiSiS improves the capability of steganography algorithm by implementing the steganography algorithm for Android-based application. MoBiSiS is able to send the stego image through the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and the stego image can be retrieved from the device’s message inbox to extract the hidden message inside the stego image.
