Abstract

The art of sending and displaying the hidden information has especially received more attention and faced many challenges. Steganography deals with hiding the available communicated data in such a way that it remains confidential. Usually the data covered is achieved by the means of image, text, communication, voice or multimedia military communication, content for copyright, authentication and many other purposes. This paper deals with the complete overview of the steganography its requirements, various methods of the steganography, its classifications and the various techniques used in the study. Finally the applications of the steganography are discussed in this work
