I have made a steganography program to encrypt/Decrypt some text under image audio and video.
I used image as bmp(54 byte header) file, audio as wav(44 byte header) file and video as avi(56 byte header) file formats.
When I tries to encrypt text under all these file then it gets encrypted successfully and are also getting decrypted correctly.
But it is creating a problem with audio and video i.e these files are not being played after encrypted result.
What can be the problem. I am working on Turbo C++ compiler. I know it is super outdated compiler but I have to do it in this only.
Here is my code to encrypt.
int Binary_encode(char *txtSourceFileName, char *binarySourceFileName, char *binaryTargetFileName,const short headerSize)
{
long BinarySourceSize=0,TextSourceSize=0;
char *Buffer;
long BlockSize=10240, i=0;
ifstream ReadTxt, ReadBinary; //reads
ReadTxt.open(txtSourceFileName,ios::binary|ios::in);//file name, mode of open, here input mode i.e. read only
if(!ReadTxt)
{
cprintf("\nFile can not be opened.");
return 0;
}
ReadBinary.open(binarySourceFileName,ios::binary|ios::in);//file name, mode of open, here input mode i.e. read only
if(!ReadBinary)
{
ReadTxt.close();//closing opened file
cprintf("\nFile can not be opened.");
return 0;
}
ReadBinary.seekg(0,ios::end);//setting pointer to a file at the end of file.
ReadTxt.seekg(0,ios::end);
BinarySourceSize=(long )ReadBinary.tellg(); //returns the position of pointer
TextSourceSize=(long )ReadTxt.tellg(); //returns the position of pointer
ReadBinary.seekg(0,ios::beg); //sets the pointer to the begining of file
ReadTxt.seekg(0,ios::beg); //sets the pointer to the begining of file
if(BinarySourceSize<TextSourceSize*50) //Minimum size of an image should be 50 times the size of file to be encrypted
{
cout<<"\n\n";
cprintf("Binary File size should be bigger than text file size.");
ReadBinary.close();
ReadTxt.close();
return 0;
}
cout<<"\n";
cprintf("\n\nSize of Source Image/Audio File is : ");
cout<<(float)BinarySourceSize/1024;
cprintf("KB");
cout<<"\n";
cprintf("Size of Text File is ");
cout<<TextSourceSize;
cprintf(" Bytes");
cout<<"\n";
getch();
//write header to file without changing else file will not open
//bmp image's header size is 53 bytes
Buffer=new char[headerSize];
ofstream WriteBinary; // writes to file
WriteBinary.open(binaryTargetFileName,ios::binary|ios::out|ios::trunc);//file will be created or truncated if already exists
ReadBinary.read(Buffer,headerSize);//reads no of bytes and stores them into mem, size contains no of bytes in a file
WriteBinary.write(Buffer,headerSize);//writes header to 2nd image
delete[] Buffer;//deallocate memory
/*
Buffer = new char[sizeof(long)];
Buffer = (char *)(&TextSourceSize);
cout<<Buffer;
*/
WriteBinary.write((char *)(&TextSourceSize),sizeof(long));
//writes no of byte to be written in image immediate after header ends
//to decrypt file
if(!(Buffer=new char[TextSourceSize]))
{
cprintf("Enough Memory could not be assigned.");
return 0;
}
ReadTxt.read(Buffer,TextSourceSize);//read all data from text file
ReadTxt.close();//file no more needed
WriteBinary.write(Buffer,TextSourceSize);//writes all text file data into image
delete[] Buffer;//deallocate memory
//replace Tsize+1 below with Tsize and run the program to see the change
//this is due to the reason that 50-54 byte no are of colors which we will be changing
ReadBinary.seekg(TextSourceSize+1,ios::cur);//move pointer to the location-current loc i.e. 53+content of text file
//write remaining image content to image file
while(i<BinarySourceSize-headerSize-TextSourceSize+1)
{
i=i+BlockSize;
Buffer=new char[BlockSize];
ReadBinary.read(Buffer,BlockSize);//reads no of bytes and stores them into mem, size contains no of bytes in a file
WriteBinary.write(Buffer,BlockSize);
delete[] Buffer; //clear memory, else program can fail giving correct output
}
ReadBinary.close();
WriteBinary.close();
//Encoding Completed
return 0;
