Abstract

Field of data security has attracted everybody’s attention due to digitization of whole world. Now shopping on internet, sending e-mails, transfer of documents, and all other type of data like text, image, audio or video is a common habit and need of mankind. But neither the medium used for data transfer is secured nor the storage media from hackers which encouraged data hiding techniques like Encryption and Steganography. On the other hand the world is being mobile day by day and almost all type of services is being ported on mobile phones whether it is messaging services, internet services, entertainment services, sensor based services or financial services in form of various mobile applications. Millions of These applications are downloaded on mobile phones daily from all part of world. In this paper, we are going to accomplish covert communication of images using mobile application as cover data and in order to provide authentication check to our technique we used SMS module concept. SMS module allows only registered or authorised user to download the application and has many other advantages. This technique has overcome the problem of other Steganographic techniques like limited payload capacity with added advantage of mobility and portability as it runs on mobile phones instead of PC. Proposed technique was developed in J2ME platform and tested on Nokia C5 series phones.
