Este SDK proporciona acceso programático al codec y a sus funciones de codificación y decodificación a través de una interfaz WebAPI.
La esteganografía es un término que describe el arte y la ciencia de ocultar información incrustando mensajes dentro de otros archivos de imagen aparentemente inofensivos.
En este caso, los bits individuales del mensaje oculto cifrado se guardan como los bits menos significativos (LSB) en los componentes de color RGB de los píxeles de la imagen seleccionada.

Con nuestro codificador esteganográfico podrás ocultar cualquier mensaje de texto en la imagen de forma segura y enviarlo sin levantar sospechas. Solo será posible leer el mensaje después de proporcionar una contraseña de descifrado válida.
La forma preferida de instalación del SDK de Web API es a través de NPM (Node Package Manager).
Ejecuta:
npm i steganography-online-codec
