Integration Testing with Steganographic Tools

Abstract

Steganography is the art of hiding information. It is the art of secret writing. Steganography helps in eliminating the useful and confidential information from common public or users. It is the art of concealing file, message, image or video within another file. The Cover file is the file which carries the message file. This paper discusses about hiding different format of files in different steganography tools and test the integrity of the message files inside the related application at the receiving end. This paper discuss about the experiment held using different steganography techniques with steganography tools. The objective of the experiment is to check the integrity of the message files of different formats hidden with different steganography tools and decoding at the receiving end. The experiment throws light on the condition of the file received, integrity and execution with the related application at the receiving end. The paper then shows experiment results used with image, audio, video, dual layer steganography and steganography file system followed by the conclusion whether the experiment result can reject the null hypothesis or the experiment holds no significant changes.
