The overarching field of information hiding has been extensively researched. However, the potential for use of smartphones-communicating over cellular service provider networks-has yet to be fully explored. In this paper, we propose Android-Stego-a covert communication framework for Android smartphones. We have presented results analysing real-world cellular service-providers' restrictions on MMS messages and the corrective actions they take using a prototype implementation of Android-Stego. With the prototype implementation, we have also analysed the messages at both the sending and the receiving ends to determine the service providers' actions on MMS messagessuch as compression and/or format conversion.

“…We compared the obtained results with the values of performances reported by other steganographic solutions. These steganographic systems are presented in [13], [14], [15], [16] and [17]. We do not have access to the source code of these solutions to perform the measurements we need to compare with SmartSteg performances.…”

“…For example: 4-LSB [13] [14], MoBiSiS [16], MobiStego [17], Android-Stego [15], are some proposed steganographic systems for Android. In the literature there are some proposed solutions especially designed for PC, from which we choose as relevant: the project developed on Skype steganography [23] and the researches made in [22] and [23].…”

“…The applications that we analyzed reach the following performances: 4-LSB [13] [14] uses MMS and can embed an image, text or audio in an already transferred image using MMS; MoBiSiS [16] uses MMS and can embed text in an image, MobiStego [17] uses MMS and can embed text in an image; Android-Stego [15] uses MMS and can embed a file in an image. SmartSteg stands out from the rest of the steganographic systems that run Android because it can conceal any type of file, up to 2 MB dimension.…”

Cryptography and Steganography are two commonly used techniques in modern era for ensuring confidential and private communication. These techniques complete each other offering multiple layers of safety, enhancing digital information security. In this paper we analyze Smartsteg, which is a project that implements cryptography combined with steganography on mobile devices that run Android and Windows. We evaluate the performance of this project in terms of: interoperability, security, payload capacity, speed and robustness against steganalysis.

Modern advancement in communication technologies has resulted in the widely and increase in use of smartphones such as android, blackberry, iPhones and much more. The proliferation of smartphones raises much security issues. This is so because the security features of such devices are limited. The most novel approach to arrest the security challenges in the smartphone is cryptography and steganography. Cryptography concerns itself with the masking of the content of a secret message whereas steganography deals with the concealment or hiding of a secreted message from the unauthorized person. The system proposed in this study uses a cover object, image specifically to hide the message to be sent. Before a message is embedded in the image, the message is first encrypted using RSA encryption algorithm. After the message has been encrypted, the process of embedding or hiding the message in the image is carried on. Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique is used to embed the message into the video. The performance Analysis was carried out using Peak-Signal-to -Noise-Ratio (PSNR). The results show that high security and robustness is achieved in smartphones when cryptography is combined with steganography.
