A digital picture
is made of pixels
A pixel is 3 bits
A bit is a string of 8 digits, 0 an 1
It looks like this : 10110010
What we do :
Our software, identifies in every bit,
the least significant byte of the string
and we replace it with a byte of the data
we want to insert
|
All the new bytes inserted
in the picture are linked to each other,
creating a “map” of the new data,
within the picture file
|
If a pixel of the picture is modified,
the encrypted information is destroyed, therefore
breaking the map of the new information.
