Securing Messages and Files Using Integrated Steganography and Asymmetric Encryption Techniques

Steganography and Cryptography are two popular ways of sending vital information in a secret way. One hides the existence of the message and the other distorts the message itself. As we know, after the improvement of internet, the security or privacy of information and data are the most important factors of Information Technology and communication. Every day, large quantities of data are transferred via the internet, file sharing site, social networking sites and etc. simultaneously, the number of internet users are also increases. This article aims to develop a user-friendly program that would address the security concerns in message delivery to authorized parties safely, at least to some extent. We applied C# language in order to make the application work fast and by the time the user selects the file and image, immediately after pressing the Encryption button within few seconds the process will complete. This evaluation showed that users fund this application easy to use and likely to be useful during message passing through steganography and cryptography methods.
