I read about an article on Steganography -A method to hide text in common media formats .

I am interested in developing one application for that . Which is the best language that i should go for. (like c++, python, ruby or pearl) And also give me some details about the class libraries that can help me in building my Application.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey i just found out an opensouce Steganography software called steganotool This project is an open source steganography tool that can be used to hide and extract text to/ from Bitmap images.

Having done some work in stegonography and steganalysis, this is a really broad question. There are some open source stegonography applications (I don't recall there being any in Java, but this was several years ago). Google appears to provide papers and documents about stegonography using Java, including links to some other questions here on Stack Overflow. –  Thomas Owens Aug 20 '12 at 15:02
Theoretically you could hide whatever you want, but video and audio information tends to be too big to be practical. The section on Steganography In Documents makes me pretty skeptical to the article. Finally, I have little to no experience with them, but I don't think standard classes would be suitable for your purposes. –  Jacob Raihle Aug 20 '12 at 15:03
This library in C++ can hide text in audio files. Not sure if that helps but thought I would share the link. –  assylias Aug 20 '12 at 15:11
