Novel technique for steganography in fingerprints images: Design and implementation

This paper describes the design and implementation of a project concerning the hiding of messages in images specifically fingerprint images. Fingerprints differentiate one person from another, and one finger from another. Every human being has twenty different fingerprints, and they do not have any similarity throughout the history of mankind. The policy of this project is to keep the confidential messages hidden inside the drawing of the fingerprints. Due to the variations in shapes of the fingerprint that is carrying the hidden message, it would appear as if there is nothing inside the message. So, anyone who would try to concentrate and analyze the fingerprint, it will appear to him as if it belongs to a different person, and not the picture that has changed in looks and colors. This project will provide a system to serve both sender and receiver of the secret message. The sender will write the content of the message, and the system will hide it inside the new fingerprint, and then return it to the sender. So, that he could send it to the receiver in any way he deems necessary. When the receiver loads the fingerprint in the system, and asks for reading the message, the system would analyze the fingerprint, and display the content of the message to the receiver.
