Abstract

Steganology, the knack of unseen communication has a significant pose in the modern digital era. Steganography, the practice of concealing a message in any digital medium to the extent that it is not even revealed that a hidden communication is happening through. Steganalysis, the practice to listen the communication medium that results in detection of the presence of any hidden communication. This paper presents a brief overview in the field of Steganology, especially steganography.
