Image Data Hiding

Hi!
Many a times, you may be wishing to exchange or share some secret information. When you try encrypting your data, anybody can get suspicious that you are trying to share something secret.
But I have a very cool alternative to that. Why don't you hide all your data in a naive looking Image File and send that to your contact. Send him the required Security code and VIOLA!! he can get back your data as easily as possible....And in this case : Nobody even came to be slightly suspicious that you may be sending even a bit of data......

So, to entertain this fact, I created a C++ Program along with few of my friends Nipun and Mukul that serves this purpose very successfully. (Its Free but not Open Source)!!

Program Executable !

This Concept is very popularly known as Steganography - The art of hiding data in images.....!
Presently the program is in Natal stages and I will keep on updating it as and when we will add a new functionality to the program.

PLAN - We plan to change the platform to JAVA, so that it can be used in Windows platform, which will be very Cool looking rather than the DOS platform. We also plan to port it to Mobiles, so that you can send your precious SMSes using MMS (Seems costly, by think how lovely will it look, if you send an image to your LOVE, hiding "I Love YOU" in it ;) )....

So, Download the executable and check for yourself. But please leave your comments, on how you liked the program and what else you would like to see in it.
