In the digital age, ensuring information security and privacy has become a critical concern during communication and data exchange. Steganography, a technique that conceals vital information within innocent-looking cover media like photographs, has emerged as an effective solution to address these challenges. The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive steganography tool capable of securely hiding any type of data file within an image, bolstered by multiple layers of protection.The proposed system offers a user- friendly interface, allowing users to select a destination image, specify the storage location, and customize the image's division into numerous parts. The user's information is then divided into random chunks and discreetly written into various storage locations within the image. To further conceal classified info, the image consolidated with a cover image. To maintain confidentiality, the final image is encrypted using a robust encryption technique and a randomly generated key.The encrypted image can be easily shared with the intended recipients through cloud storage. To ensure only authorized access, the linked key is sent via encrypted email, accessible only to those who are meant to receive the secret data. Upon receiving the image and key, the recipient can use the key to unlock the concealed information and verify their ownership. Which give individuals a flexible and powerful solution for safeguarding their data during transmission, integrating the capabilities of steganography, encryption, and secure key exchange. The system's ability to hide sensitive information within image files significantly reduces the hazard of info breaches and unauthorized access. Ultimately, this initiative aims to enhance the safety and security of critical info in digital era.
