How can I implement steganography in Python?

You can implement steganography in Python using libraries like Pillow for image manipulation and OpenCV for more advanced techniques. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple example.

Sure! Here's a basic example using the Pillow library:

from PIL import Image

# Load the image
image = Image.open('image.png')

# Function to encode a message
def encode_message(image, message):
    encoded = image.copy()
    # Encoding logic here
    return encoded

# Function to decode a message
def decode_message(image):
    # Decoding logic here
    return message

# Example usage
encoded_image = encode_message(image, 'Hello, World!')
encoded_image.save('encoded_image.png')

This code provides a starting point. Would you like to know more about the encoding logic?

Yes, what is the encoding logic?

The encoding logic typically involves manipulating the least significant bits of the image pixels to hide the message. For example, you can convert each character of the message to its binary representation and replace the least significant bits of the pixel values with these bits. Would you like a detailed explanation or a more complex example?

A detailed explanation would be great!
