It is always important that you protect confidential and secret data files by encrypting them. Steghide UI is a simple freeware application which allows you to protect secret data by hiding it in image and audio files. Steghide UI is build on steghide command-line tool which provides the same features. The elegant and useful interface of the application provides easy and simple, but powerful features to encrypt the data. The file formats you can rely on to embed the secret data are BMP, JPG, WAV and AU.
You can basically embed anything on to the image and audio files, but the actual size depends on what you are trying to embed. Steghide’s interface has 16 different encryption algorithms (Arcfour, Blowfish, Cast-128, Cast-256, DES, Enigma, Gost, Loki97, Rc2, AES 256/128/192, Saferplus, Serpent, TripleDES, Twofish, Wake and Xtea), and for each of them you can define a mode of operation (OFB, CBC, CFB, CTR, ECB, NCFB or NOFB).
Extracting the encrypted file in also done using the interface. The front end of the application is pretty simple considering the fact that many users might find the original command line application difficult to use.
Steghide UI is a very powerful program to encrypt your secret and confidential files.
