Abstract: With increase in the data transmission and data exchange in daily life, along with the increasing data thefts and other adversary snooping, the security and privacy of data has become an important thing to be concerned about. Throughout the years many different approach, ideas, algorithms and protocols have been developed to protect the data from snoopers and adversaries and ensure secure communication. Every approach has its own pros and cons. This project is an attempt to combine two different approaches of data protection- (Steganography and Cryptography) to develop a powerful and secured method for data exchange.
