Steganography is the practice of hiding information within another file or medium, such as an image, audio file, or video. Unlike encryption, which makes data unreadable, steganography conceals the existence of the data.
Steganography works by embedding data within the least significant bits (LSBs) of a file. For example, in an image, the color values of pixels can be slightly altered to encode hidden information without visibly changing the image.
