Lab Assignment: Steganography

Steganography is the practice of hiding a message or image within another message or image. People use this practice because an encrypted message may attract attention whereas an encrypted message that appears to be ordinary text may not. In this exercise,you will encrypt a message,and then take the encrypted message and make it appear more like an ordinary message so that it will not stand out. Next, you will take the steps to reverse the processes that you originally completed.
