DCT LSB Image Steganography Project

It is a full-fledged JavaFX Application for hiding text messages in JPEG image. The technique is known as Steganography

This project is the implementation of my own research paper. The corresponding paper can be found here.

Installing

Pre-requisites

1. MySQL Server

   The configuration of MySQL Server is:

   server: localhost
   port: 3306
   username: root
   password: none

   You can use the above credentials, or use you own. Modify the DbUtil.java file as necessary. The file is located in src->util

2. Java Development Kit 8

   You can download the JDK from here

Launch the Application by running MainWindow.java located in the src->util folder.

Limitations

1. The input image must have dimensions divisible by 8. This is because the MCU used for frequency domain transformation is of size 8x8.
2. The imput image should be Baseline JPEG. Progressive JPEGs are not supported.
