Abstract

File sharing application is the software application that providing access or distributing of digital media from devices to another such as electronic document, multimedia items and computer program. Nowadays, people are currently use mobile phone as their sharing medium as it more convenience and faster. This situation has led to data breach incident which mean the data are easily being stolen, accessed and manipulated by unauthorized party. Therefore, the aim of this project to hide the sensitive information from being known its existence by cyber-attacker. To achieve the aim, Steganography technology will be integrated within file sharing application as solution to the problem faced as this technology allow the file being transferred hidden inside other data. This project will used LSB (Least Significant Bit) algorithm technique as the steganography technology in which image is used as transfer medium to carry the sensitive data. This technique have two basic processes which are Embedding Process and Extracting Process. Embedding process is to hide the data while Extracting process is to recover back the data. The result of this project will be determined by the percentage of difference between the original image and the stego image in term of image pixel and size. In conclusion, the integration of steganography technology with the file sharing application will increase the security level of the sensitive data that being transferred.
