PictureCrypt v1.4.0 - Advanced mode release

PictureCrypt

An image-steganography project

Hi!
Today we publish our new version v1.4.0 of our project PictureCrypt 😃

Download

You can get it for Windows, download PictureCrypt-setup.exe, however usually windows marks it as dangerous, but I can assure you, that it is safe. If you don't believe me, you can build it from source or download release zip file. There is a binary for linux, but if no Qt is installed it maybe won't work.

What's new?

Advanced mode of cryption

The main new feature is new mode - advanced mode.

Features

• Unlike the previously only mode (now normal mode) it uses keyphrase not only for data encryption, but for pixel assignment as well, what means that the encryption is not on the data level as before, but on the pixels level.
• This mode also generates extra noise for the data, so any hackers will not be able to tell if pixel contains real data or is it just nonsense.
• Verifying and decrypting the image now features time-consuming puzzle, so bruteforcing takes much longer.

However, because of these "innovations" the process is now much slower and can take up to a minute on a slow machine.

Translations

Now PictureCrypt is available in multiple languages, thanks to Qt Linguist Platform. Currently we have: English, Russian and German. If your system language is one of them, you will get localised interface. If not you will have default English variant.

Home page

Now PictureCrypt has a home page, which is generated on Travis CI and deployed using GitHub Pages. Docs have moved to https://picturecrypt.alexkovrigin.me/docs

Appveyor

From now on, we use Appveyor CI for builds on Windows, with it we make exe files and store them there.

Keyphrase Release

Download

Binary files for windows and linux are included
Windows 10 built-in guard points this exe as dangerous. I can assure, it's perfectly safe, but if you still don't believe me, you can build it from source. Exe file is from in-house version 1.3.4, but the functionality is just the same.

New:

• Keyphrase functionality added
• Some refactoring made for future grand v1.4.0
• Minor improvements made

Hi!

What's new?

Unit tests

From now on, before App is started the TestPC class is run and ModelPC is tested for any unnormal behavior.
After testing the log file is generated. See example in README.md

Documentation

In this version of the project, standard web documentation by doxygen was updated, but also tex documentation was added.

External use

From now on, ModelPC class can be used externally (outside of the PictureCrypt). More about it is available in README.md and Documentation's Chapter External use

Perfomance improvements

Minor Perfomance improvements

Idea of the project

The idea came to me, when I read an article about steganoraphy. I realised, that you can store data in an image in pixels near the border, so noone can see and even if they did, it is practically impossible to decipher the contents.

How to open/use the project

To use it you can either download the source and open it in the QT Creator and modify it as you like or you can download the build or installation wizard, it has all the necessary dll files in it, so you don’t need anything to worry about.

Hi!
Today we publish our new version v1.2.5 of our project PictureCrypt 😃

What's new?

Custom bites' use rate

In the new version we present feature to select number of bites per byte in pixel, that means lower pixel deviation rates, but higher pixels use, which is great for under 1% use of pixels, however you can use whole pixels for embedding.

Documentation

In this version of the project, standard web documentation by doxygen was updated, but also PDF manual was added.

External use

From now on, ModelPC class can be used externally (outside of the PictureCrypt). More about it is available in README.md and Documentation's Chapter External use
