| description | Problems of hidden storage and transmission of information are successfully solved by using steganography. The most common steganographic maskers for transmitting and storing information at a given time are media files, such as photos, videos, and audio files. The use of such maskers imposes a number of restrictions, one of which is a limit on the size of the embedded information. Thus, increasing the amount of hidden data changes the entropy properties of the masker and allows you to detect the fact of steganography. One of the alternative ways to ensure the possibility of steganographic concealment of large amounts of information is to use a fundamentally different method of concealment. In this regard, it becomes relevant to develop a method for steganographic storage of information in the file system, as a masker, in which you can secretly store quite large amounts of data. This paper presents an approach to steganographic storage of information in the file system of the extracted data carrier, which is usually an electronic data carrier with the FAT32 file system. During the analysis of existing steganography tools designed to hide information in file systems, their weaknesses and strengths were identified, on the basis of which the requirements for the developed tool were put forward. The paper presents a detailed description of the algorithms used in the new approach. Its main advantages and the situations in which its application is justified are described, as well as its perfection by the Cachin method is proved. |
