Tactical Chat

Project Title

Tactical Chat

Project Area of Specialization Cyber SecurityProject Summary

Tactical chat is an android base application. It is the art and science of hiding information such its presence cannot be detected and a communication is happening. The word tactical chat comes from the Greek “Seganos”, which mean covered or secret and – “graphy” mean writing or drawing. Therefore, tactical chat means literally, covered writing. It is the art and science of hiding information such its presence cannot be detected, and a communication is happening.

Its goal is to conceal the fact of communication. It is often compared to cryptography, which purpose is to conceal the information, carried by the message. Tactical chat is probably as old as written communication itself. In ancient times, people wrote their messages under layer of wax of wax tablets to sneak their messages into another city, or used invisible inks (e.g., milk) to write their notes.

Project Objectives

The goal of tactical chat is conert communication. So, a fundamental requirement of this tactical chat system is that the hider message carried by stego-media should not be sensible to human beings.

The other goad of tactical chat is to avoid drawing suspicion to the existence of a hidden message. This approach of information hiding technique has recently became important in a number of application area.

Project Implementation Method

Benefits of the Project

Tactical chat is a really interesting subject and outside of the mainstream cryptography and system administration that most of us deal with day after day.

Image and Text tactical chat allows two individuals to communicate privately. We have developed an android application using this technique to securely send secret image and text message by encrypted them. This provide security from attacker. This application didn’t change the type of original image text after encrypting. Advantage of proposed model:

• Execution time is fast.

• Information cannot be detected from steganalysis attack.

• Hide Image in Text.

• Hide Text in Text.

• Sender can protect secret information in Text.

 • Works on all version of android operating system. Application run successfully and perform it’s required functionality. Future work of our research is to develop new version of Stego App that works on Apple operating system. And enable the application to hide Image and Text in the encrypted text.
