Hide In Picture (ver 2.1) Abandoned Freeware Hide In Picture is an encryption program that lets you hide files (of any type, including binaries or other pictures) within a bitmap (bmp, gif) image. Hidden files are encrypted, dispersed through the image, and password protected (forgetting the password will prevent hidden file retreival). Color photographs often work best as the storage container, and it is preferable that the stored file be no larger than 40% of the container size. While there are utilities to encrypt files on a disk drive, these lack portability. A bitmap container could be emailed, or even publicly displayed on a webpage, without being suspected.
