# CI/CD Primer for Stegasoo
|
||||
|
||||
## What is CI/CD?
|
||||
|
||||
**CI** = Continuous Integration
|
||||
**CD** = Continuous Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
Think of it as a robot assistant that automatically:
|
||||
1. **Tests your code** every time you push
|
||||
2. **Checks formatting** so code stays consistent
|
||||
3. **Publishes releases** when you tag a version
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
You push code → GitHub runs workflows → You get ✓ or ✗
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
### The Trigger
|
||||
|
||||
When you `git push` or create a Pull Request, GitHub looks for workflow files in:
|
||||
```
|
||||
.github/workflows/*.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each `.yml` file defines a workflow - a series of steps to run.
|
||||
|
||||
### The Runners
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub provides free Linux/Mac/Windows VMs that:
|
||||
1. Clone your repo
|
||||
2. Set up Python
|
||||
3. Run your commands
|
||||
4. Report success/failure
|
||||
|
||||
You don't manage servers - GitHub does.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Your Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. `test.yml` - Run Tests on Every Push
|
||||
|
||||
**When it runs:** Every push, every PR
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Spins up Ubuntu VM
|
||||
2. Installs Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
|
||||
3. Installs your package + dependencies
|
||||
4. Runs pytest
|
||||
5. Reports pass/fail
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**You'll see:** Green ✓ or red ✗ on your commits
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. `lint.yml` - Check Code Style
|
||||
|
||||
**When it runs:** Every push, every PR
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Runs ruff (fast Python linter)
|
||||
2. Checks black formatting
|
||||
3. Fails if code isn't formatted
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** Keeps code consistent, catches common bugs
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. `release.yml` - Publish to PyPI
|
||||
|
||||
**When it runs:** Only when you create a version tag
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Builds the package (wheel + sdist)
|
||||
2. Uploads to PyPI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**You trigger it by:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git tag v2.2.0
|
||||
git push origin v2.2.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Day-to-Day Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Normal Development
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Make changes
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "Add new feature"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then check GitHub → Actions tab → See if tests pass.
|
||||
|
||||
### If Tests Fail
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the failed workflow
|
||||
2. Click the failed job
|
||||
3. Read the error log
|
||||
4. Fix locally, push again
|
||||
|
||||
### Making a Release
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Update version in pyproject.toml and constants.py
|
||||
# 2. Commit the version bump
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "Bump version to 2.2.1"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Create and push a tag
|
||||
git tag v2.2.1
|
||||
git push origin v2.2.1
|
||||
|
||||
# 4. GitHub automatically publishes to PyPI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Reading the GitHub UI
|
||||
|
||||
### Actions Tab
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Repository → Actions → [List of workflow runs]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each run shows:
|
||||
- ✓ Green checkmark = passed
|
||||
- ✗ Red X = failed
|
||||
- 🟡 Yellow dot = running
|
||||
|
||||
### Pull Request Checks
|
||||
|
||||
When you open a PR, you'll see:
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ All checks have passed │
|
||||
│ ✓ test (3.10) — 45s │
|
||||
│ ✓ test (3.11) — 42s │
|
||||
│ ✓ test (3.12) — 44s │
|
||||
│ ✓ lint — 12s │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Setting Up PyPI Publishing
|
||||
|
||||
For `release.yml` to work, you need to add a PyPI API token:
|
||||
|
||||
### One-Time Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create PyPI account** at https://pypi.org/account/register/
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Generate API token:**
|
||||
- PyPI → Account Settings → API tokens
|
||||
- Create token (scope: entire account or just stegasoo)
|
||||
- Copy the token (starts with `pypi-`)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add to GitHub:**
|
||||
- GitHub repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
|
||||
- New repository secret
|
||||
- Name: `PYPI_API_TOKEN`
|
||||
- Value: paste the token
|
||||
|
||||
Now `release.yml` can publish automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### "Tests pass locally but fail in CI"
|
||||
|
||||
Usually means:
|
||||
- Missing dependency in `pyproject.toml`
|
||||
- Hardcoded path that doesn't exist in CI
|
||||
- Test relies on local file
|
||||
|
||||
### "Lint is failing"
|
||||
|
||||
Run locally to see/fix:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check issues
|
||||
ruff check src/
|
||||
|
||||
# Auto-fix what's possible
|
||||
ruff check --fix src/
|
||||
|
||||
# Format code
|
||||
black src/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "I want to skip CI for a commit"
|
||||
|
||||
Add `[skip ci]` to commit message:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git commit -m "Update README [skip ci]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Costs
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub Actions is **free** for public repos.
|
||||
|
||||
For private repos: 2,000 minutes/month free, then paid.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
| Action | What Happens |
|
||||
|--------|--------------|
|
||||
| `git push` | Tests + lint run automatically |
|
||||
| Open PR | Tests must pass before merge |
|
||||
| `git tag v*` | Publishes to PyPI |
|
||||
| Check results | GitHub → Actions tab |
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! Push code, check for green checkmarks.

# Threat Model
|
||||
|
||||
## What Stegasoo Protects
|
||||
|
||||
Stegasoo is designed to hide the **existence** of a secret message within an ordinary-looking image, protected by multi-factor authentication.
|
||||
|
||||
### Protection Goals
|
||||
|
||||
| Goal | How It's Achieved |
|
||||
|------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Confidentiality** | AES-256-GCM encryption with Argon2id key derivation |
|
||||
| **Steganography** | LSB embedding with pseudo-random pixel selection |
|
||||
| **Authentication** | Multi-factor: reference photo + passphrase + PIN (or RSA key) |
|
||||
| **Integrity** | GCM authentication tag detects tampering |
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Factors
|
||||
|
||||
Stegasoo combines multiple authentication factors:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Key Derivation │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ Reference Photo ─────┐ │
|
||||
│ (something you have) │ │
|
||||
│ ├──► Argon2id ──► AES-256 Key │
|
||||
│ Day Passphrase ──────┤ (256MB RAM) │
|
||||
│ (something you know) │ │
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
│ PIN or RSA Key ──────┘ │
|
||||
│ (second factor) │
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## What Stegasoo Does NOT Protect Against
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Statistical Steganalysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** Advanced analysis can detect that an image contains hidden data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reality:** LSB steganography is detectable by:
|
||||
- Chi-square analysis
|
||||
- RS analysis
|
||||
- Machine learning classifiers
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:** Stegasoo uses pseudo-random pixel selection (not sequential), which helps but doesn't eliminate detectability.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Don't rely on Stegasoo if your adversary has:
|
||||
- Access to the original carrier image
|
||||
- Sophisticated forensic tools
|
||||
- Motivation to analyze your specific images
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Compromised Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** If your device is compromised, the attacker can capture credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not protected:**
|
||||
- Keyloggers capturing your PIN/passphrase
|
||||
- Screen capture of decoded messages
|
||||
- Memory scraping during encode/decode
|
||||
- Malware on sender or receiver device
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Use on trusted devices only.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Reference Photo Exposure
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** The reference photo is a critical secret.
|
||||
|
||||
**If leaked:** Attacker only needs to guess/brute-force the passphrase + PIN.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:**
|
||||
- Never share the reference photo
|
||||
- Use a unique photo (not posted online)
|
||||
- Store securely (encrypted drive, password manager)
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Weak Credentials
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** Short PINs or common passphrases can be brute-forced.
|
||||
|
||||
| PIN Length | Combinations | Time to Brute Force* |
|
||||
|------------|--------------|----------------------|
|
||||
| 4 digits | 10,000 | Seconds |
|
||||
| 6 digits | 1,000,000 | Minutes |
|
||||
| 8 digits | 100,000,000 | Hours |
|
||||
| 9 digits | 1,000,000,000| Days |
|
||||
|
||||
*With Argon2 (256MB RAM, 4 iterations), each attempt takes ~1 second, making brute force slow but not impossible for short PINs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:**
|
||||
- Use 8+ digit PINs
|
||||
- Use 4+ word passphrases
|
||||
- Consider RSA keys for high-security use cases
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Image Modification
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** Lossy compression destroys hidden data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Data is destroyed by:**
|
||||
- JPEG compression
|
||||
- Resizing
|
||||
- Filters/effects
|
||||
- Screenshots
|
||||
- Social media upload (Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:**
|
||||
- Always use lossless formats (PNG, BMP)
|
||||
- Transfer files directly (email, Signal, USB)
|
||||
- Never upload stego images to social media
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Metadata Leakage
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** The stego image itself may reveal information.
|
||||
|
||||
**Potential leaks:**
|
||||
- File creation timestamp
|
||||
- Camera EXIF data (if carrier has it)
|
||||
- File size changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:** Stegasoo strips EXIF on output, but timestamps remain.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Traffic Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk:** The act of sending an image may be suspicious.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not protected:**
|
||||
- Network observers seeing you send image files
|
||||
- Email metadata showing sender/receiver
|
||||
- Frequency analysis of communications
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Use alongside normal image-sharing behavior.
|
||||

||||
## Cryptographic Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Encryption
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Algorithm | Parameters |
|
||||
|-----------|-----------|------------|
|
||||
| Key Derivation | Argon2id | 256MB RAM, 4 iterations, 4 parallelism |
|
||||
| Fallback KDF | PBKDF2-SHA256 | 600,000 iterations |
|
||||
| Encryption | AES-256-GCM | 12-byte IV, 16-byte tag |
|
||||
| Photo Hash | SHA-256 | Full image bytes |
|
||||
|
||||
### Pixel Selection
|
||||
|
||||
Pixels are selected pseudo-randomly using a key derived from:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pixel_key = SHA256(photo_hash || passphrase || date || pin/rsa_signature)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This prevents:
|
||||
- Sequential embedding patterns
|
||||
- Statistical detection of modified regions
|
||||
|
||||
### Format
|
||||
|
||||

## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### For Maximum Security
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use RSA keys** instead of PINs for authentication
|
||||
2. **Use unique reference photos** not available online
|
||||
3. **Use long passphrases** (4+ random words)
|
||||
4. **Transfer via secure channels** (Signal, encrypted email)
|
||||
5. **Delete stego images** after message is read
|
||||
6. **Keep software updated** for security fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### For Casual Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
1. **6-digit PIN** is sufficient for non-adversarial use
|
||||
2. **3-word passphrase** provides reasonable security
|
||||
3. **PNG format** always for output
|
||||
4. **Direct file transfer** (email attachment, AirDrop)
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
| Limitation | Impact | Status |
|
||||
|------------|--------|--------|
|
||||
| LSB is detectable | Statistical analysis can detect hidden data | By design (tradeoff for capacity) |
|
||||
| No forward secrecy | Compromised key decrypts all messages | Use different keys per message for high security |
|
||||
| Date in header | Reveals when message was encoded | By design (enables day-specific passphrases) |
|
||||
| No deniability | Single password = single message | Future: plausible deniability layers |
|
||||
