Why Steganography?

Steganography is not just about hiding data; it's about hiding the very existence of the data. While encryption makes data unreadable, steganography makes it invisible.

Example:

• Encrypted: Qcaapgrw gq gknmprylr (Easily detectable as encrypted)
• Steganographic: Your message is hidden within an ordinary-looking file, leaving no trace of its existence.
