Description:
This software allows you to encrypt data into a bitmap file.
Encryption can be done using a key of up to 64 characters in which
case only the recipient of the message will be able to decrypt the
content. However, you can choose not to use any key at all, and in
that case anyone that knows that there is hidden data inside the
bitmap can decrypt it.
The whole idea of this software is not to let anyone know that
there is a message hidden inside the picture. This technique is
called steganography. Steganography is the art and science of
writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the
intended recipient knows of the existence of the message. Now you
know where the name Hermetic Stego comes from.
The publisher of this program states that there is no statistical
method of finding out that the bitmap file also contains an
encrypted file. I agree with them, however if you take a deeper
look at the encrypted file you will see that its size is unusually
big. There is no way of knowing which software was used to hide the
encrypted file so your files are pretty safe.
The purpose of this software is to encrypt a file so that it will
pass any presence tests not really to encrypt it thoroughly. Unless
you use the encryption key feature, which is only available in the
registered version, you won't be sure that the data you want to
send cannot be decrypted.
I was disappointed to see that there is no help for the application
available offline. The only aid provided are some links to the
publisher's website. It took me a couple of minutes to understand
what each button on the user interface is for.
Pluses: Encryption key of up to 64 characters (512 bits) can be
used.
Drawbacks / flaws: No user manual available offline.
In conclusion: This program is ok if you just want to hide
the data, I wouldn't recommend it, though, for sensitive data.
