|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **AES-256-GCM** authenticated encryption
|
|
- **Argon2id** memory-hard key derivation (256MB RAM requirement)
|
|
- **Pseudo-random pixel selection** defeats steganalysis
|
|
- **Multi-factor authentication**: Reference photo + passphrase + PIN/RSA key
|
|
- **Multiple interfaces**: CLI, Web UI, REST API
|
|
- **File embedding**: Hide any file type (PDF, ZIP, documents)
|
|
- **DCT steganography**: JPEG-resilient embedding for social media
|
|
- **Channel keys**: Private group communication channels
|
|
|
|
## Embedding Modes
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Capacity (1080p) | JPEG Resilient | Best For |
|
|
|------|------------------|----------------|----------|
|
|
| **DCT** (default) | ~150 KB | Yes | Social media, messaging apps |
|
|
| **LSB** | ~750 KB | No | Email, direct file transfer |

## Security Model
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Reference Photo ──┐
|
|
(~80-256 bits) │
|
|
├──► Argon2id KDF ──► AES-256-GCM Key
|
|
Passphrase ───────┤ (256MB RAM)
|
|
(~43-132 bits) │

|
|
(~20-30 bits) │

|
|
|
|
| Configuration | Entropy | Use Case |
|
|
|--------------|---------|----------|
|
|
| 4-word passphrase + 6-digit PIN | ~153 bits | Standard security |
|
|
| 4-word passphrase + PIN + RSA | ~280+ bits | Maximum security |
|
|
|
|
