I’m just doing my job by Seth Godin 📚
But what if you weren’t? What if you replaced “doing” with “improving” or “reinventing” or “transforming”?
When we do our job, what happens to it? Does it go away, to be replaced by tomorrow’s endless list of tasks? What would happen if we had enough confidence and trust to reconsider the implications of how we do what we do?
What if GitHub is the devil? 🫐
No matter which service we use, there’s always a risk that they will turn off the light one day and not come back – or just change the rules or licensing terms that would prevent us from staying there.

Steganography Using Biometrics
Stego image is the output of the embedding process. Stego image contain the hidden message either in pixel values or in optimally selected coefficients.
Developers have to focus on some other method besides cryptography. Steganography can be considered as the solution to overcome this problem, as it is the technique which conceal the existence of any secret information in a usual media file. Moreover, inclusion of biometric with steganography enhances the security level, as biometric systems are dominating the field of authentication nowadays. Here, various techniques of steganography, biometric and steganography using biometrics will be discussed. Finally present scenario of steganography using Biometrics will be demonstrated.
