Isn't this one hell of a work to encrypt an image and decrypt it summarily?



And is there any way a user can steal the private key through the image's metadata? Or does it strip all the metadata before encryption?



The software provides facilities to encrypt & decrypt your encrypted private key from the image. The encrypted data are not store as meta data, they are converted to 1's and 0's and added to the RGB data (colour) inside each pixel in an image (



So in short, it increases the colour intensity, or reduces it (which is a form of storage) that can be used to store data. The best thing is, the image size should be absolutely the same!

So i can now store my bitcoins in a paper picture? Or does it have to be digital only? Either way this opens up some major possibilities for stashing away those coins in hard to find places. I might have to give this a whirl with a small amount just to see how it works exactly.



It is great. The image has to be in a digital format. But please don't forget your password or the image you used!



We're looking at storing bitcoin wallets in audio files next, hopefully more options for stashing away bitcoin wallets will be out there It is great. The image has to be in a digital format.

The fact that im not using paper wallets it's because they are an obvious target. If someone ever finds it it's like "hey guys, there's bitcoins here! let's pick this up". If they see some irrelevant picture of a cat or something, they will never guess there's a private key there.



The question is: Can you still add a password lip BIP38 paper wallets? There's no way im getting a paper wallet of any kind unless it requests a password to unlock it.

Great question!



At the moment, the passwords are converted to SHA1, divided by 2 and encrypted in AES 128-bit 2-times (because we can). It only exports as .JSON file, which is what electrum and blockchain.info uses. An option to export it as an encrypted BIP38 might be added. I'm pretty much brain-dead from working on this project.

You can load any image and your software detects if there's stenography? Or is it based on let's say a password, then that password applies stenography techniques to pic?



What I'm getting at is can your code be modified and go through every pic on a computer and detect pics that have a wallet on them?

Great question, the software itself (or myself for that matter) don't even know how to detect which image contains steganography data. its all based on the password, if the data decryption process fails, then thats it. Its either you know the password, know it has someone in it, or you don't.



Quote from: helloeverybody on July 23, 2016, 03:20:59 PM I downloaded the file but is there anyway to make it a simple exe or installer? im not too sure how to install it at the moment but would like to give it a try.



Edit:- also a phone version would be nice in the future where i could just select an image within my phone and then decrypt it and put the bitcoins straight into my wallet for instance mycelium.

Steganography looks like a great emerging technology that may become very important in safeguarding our BTC (not to mention our freedoms).



Please keep us up to date on your efforts, you are doing great work. Two thumbs up!



The step after the next would be to make your software easy-to-use for us non-tekkies. ...Steganography looks like a great emerging technology that may become very important in safeguarding our BTC (not to mention our freedoms).Please keep us up to date on your efforts, you are doing great work.Two thumbs up!The step after the next would be to make your software easy-to-use for us non-tekkies.
