Carrier Steganography
Steganography is the science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message.
The steganography module allows the hiding of text messages, files of any type, or both, in a 'carrier' file.
A carrier file is a file that performs a function in its own right and does not appear to be anything other than what it seems, for example a photograph or a sound file might be used as a carrier file.
Carrier files appear perfectly normal, they will display in image viewers or work in audio players, using the above examples. But they can also contain hidden information - other files and messages - that can be retrieved.
The QuickCrypto steganography function allows carrier files to be photographs, drawings, images (.jpg, .gif, .bmp file types) and sounds (.wav and .mp3 file types).
Any type of file can be hidden within these types of carrier files. Files and text to be hidden can easily be encrypted prior to hiding if required.
Folder Steganography
QuickCrypto also allows you to hide one or more files in a folder. This is not simple 'hidden attribute' file hiding, QuickCrypto file hiding physically moves the file but still keeps it associated to its original folder for recovery.
These files hidden within folders do not appear to normal Windows applications, including Windows Explorer.
Steganography complements Cryptography in that a hidden and encrypted message or file is most secure. Encrypting files prevents anyone reading or using the files without the correct Pass Phrase or Password.
However, encrypted files are obvious on a system. If someone is dedicated enough they may well eventually break the encryption by guessing the password.
But if you hide the files, most people will not even know they are there to try and decrypt. You can hide unencrypted or encrypted files the choice is yours.
How Does It Work?
QuickCrypto imperceptibly alters the pixels (individual picture elements) of the image, or adjust the bits of some of the sound file, encoding the secret text by adding small variations in color to the image or pitch of the sound. In practice, to the human eye and ear, these small differences do not appear to change the file.
Hidden files are still within the original folder but do not register with most normal Windows® software (e.g. Windows® Explorer® and most applications that process files)
Is Steganography Undetectable?
Steganography is not undetectable, but is very difficult to detect if the original carrier file is not available for analysis. Even if steganography is detected, it is very difficult to unscramble the hidden content without the same software used to encode it.
Files hidden on a system will be found under intense forensic search using specialist software, but are highly unlikey to be found in any other way. For total security, hide and encrypt extremely sensitive files using a long complex password.
Why Use Steganography?
Steganography complements Cryptography in that a hidden and encrypted message or file is most secure. Encrypting files prevents anyone reading or using the files without the correct Pass Phrase or Password.
However, encrypted files are obvious on a system. If someone is dedicated enough they may well eventually break the encryption by guessing the password.
But if you conceal the data - on a system or in another carrier file, most people will not even know they are there to try and decrypt.
Is QuickCrypto Easy To Use?
Yes!
One of the fundamental reasons why Steganography is not used as much as it could be, is that people find it difficult to use software that easily achieves hidden data.
QuickCrypto has been designed first and foremost (notwithstanding a pure 'heart' of sound cryptographical ability) to be supremely easy to use.

How Do I Hide Files & Information?
Carrier Steganography:
(1) Open the Steganography module by clicking the 'Stego' button
(2) Choose a 'carrier file' - sound or image file.

More Benefits of QuickCryptoSee all benefits ...
USB Memory Sticks are useful, fast and can contain a lot of data. They are used at home, at work and make transporting data very easy.This flexibility turns nasty if you lose the USB stick. Then data is lost - identity theft, hacking, password loss can all follow with serious personal, financial and corporate regulatory outcomes.
Data Loss doesn't only happen with misplaced USBs, even sending an unencrypted email with confidential or personal information risks personal identity theft and corporate fines.QuickCrypto can prevent this by encrypting email messages and attachments. Lock out the bad guys and prevent data loss accidents.
Have you accidentally deleted important files?With QuickCrypto already installed you can attempt to recover deleted files and those removed from the recycle bin.
More care needs to be taken if you do not already have QuickCrypto installed (as installation of software may overwrite deleted file data).
Working out of the office, hot desking at the coffee shop, or on a sales trip? It brings its rewards but also its data dangers.Don't let that confidential proposal slip into the wrong hands, use QuickCrypto to easily protect your most confidential information and leave everthing else as you currently know it.
PCs track and record a mass of user activity.Think clearing down your browser history removes this? It doesn't.
Think you have deleted a file so it can't be seen again? It can be.
QuickCrypto has advanced recovery options to view and erase this data.
Is your PC shared at home? Do you keep adult themed content or other inappropriate-for-all files?If you do, do you really want to risk insult to others and severe potential embarrassment?
QuickCrypto will not only encrypt, but also hide these files (remove from the normal file system).
Hackers have an easy job if you use simple (and even worse - the same) password for online activity and keep your data unencrypted.The QuickCrypto Password Manager creates strong, secure passwords and keeps them for you in an encrypted Password Safe that you can take with you on a USB Stick!
