VeilPNG 1.0 is the first stable release of the utility designed to securely embed and extract encrypted data within PNG images.
This version introduces:
AES-256-GCM Encryption: Strong encryption with integrity protection using HMAC-SHA256.
Password-Based Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with HMAC-SHA256 for secure key generation.
Custom PNG Chunk Embedding: Efficiently hides files using ancillary PNG chunks (VeilPNG).
sVeil Integration: An alternative method to embed data directly in the PNG deflate stream for enhanced stealth.
This release ensures compatibility with PNG specifications and maintains image integrity while securing sensitive data. Ideal for anyone needing privacy-focused steganography solutions.
