Hiding and securing information is a basic demand throughout humanity. People have used their own bodies, languages, writings, etc. to provide this need. Steganography is acknowledged by science and art that researches hiding information methods. Steganography consists of two element basically that cover and secret information. In the past, people used their bodies and poems, diaries for cover and used tattoo and acrostic methods for secret information. In recently thanks to the developments of technology, Steganography has widened its methods and study areas. There are four Steganography methods which are text, image, audio and video in computer science. All types of Steganography methods have distinctive different ways to hide information. But if we want to mention the most used ones, we can say that changing characteristic of text (like color, font size) in text Steganography and changing Least Significant Bit(LSB) way for other types of Steganography methods. The LSB is a way that we overwrite the LSB of each byte of the cover (image, video, audio) with secret information binary representation. In our project, we are developing an android mobile application that allows user to hide a secret information inside any image. The image can be captured instantly or selected from user gallery. We are using LSB image Steganography method in order to hide secret information in image. Beside this, we encrypt the secret information with an encryption algorithm before inserting it in image. At the end, user can save the result image for the future or share with somebody who able to see the secret information only with this application.
