Pictographic steganography based on social networking websites
Abstract
Steganography is the art of communication that does not let a third party know that the communication channel exists. It has always been influenced by the way people communicate and with the explosion of social networking websites, it is likely that these will be used as channels to cover the very existence of communication between different entities. In this paper, we present a new effective pictographic steganographic channel. We make use of the huge amount of photos available online as communication channels. We are exploiting the ubiquitousness of those social networking platforms to propel a powerful and pragmatic protocol. Our novel scheme exploiting social networking websites is robust against active and malicious.
