New Resolutions

   Ok, this may sound real stupid. But hey this is my blog, ill write anything that i wish and theres nothing anyone can do about it.

   Its just that i'd been thinking of a couple of things that i need to change about me. The worst of them is that i tend to get angry for no particular reason especially when im frustrated or pissed off. I understand that its a very bad nature. Im usually a calm and quite sort of person, but occassionally the scene gets a change!

   Its got to go then. Although i have some amount of patience, its kind of dynamic meaning that it varies. Also i do believe that im not doing better than a good no of years ago  when the case 
not like this.  

   Ive read that number of sucessful people managed their anger and disappointments.

So Just believe that every Down has an Up and every Up has a Down....

CryptX 5 :: Class Structures revision 0.1.0.2

   Heres the newly revised specification for the class structures for the Open Source encryption software project codenamed SideLiner. Although not much input from the community, i was able to think out some more solutions for possible problems in the structure when implementing 
in C# or Java in later development life of the project.

The changes include :
1. Working around the MI (Multiple Inheritance) problem in C# and Java. 
2. Making the class structure more understandable. 
3. Made the "DiskFile" class abstract. 
4. Added ae watermark in the specification.

So expecting more help from the community out there.





  

Main Project - Audio Steganography

Our final semester main project is finally complete and i would like to point out some facts about that as i had posted earlier.

Project Name : Audio Steganography App
Frontend : Java (J2SE)
Backend  : SQL Server or MS Access db

Synopsis : Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message. Audio Steganography deals with 
embedding an encrypted message into an audio file. The embeded file still 
plays as a normal audio file!


Ok first of all let me say that this program has a deeply researched and unique GUI that sets it apart from most Java based applications, courtesy of Artistik expressionz.

GUI Development in Java is not exactly developer friendly i guess,
atleast for me. The GUI has to be handcoded and placed on the Stage. 
Frustrating, but found short cut methods for doing that. 
Some three days were devoted entirely on designing and placing controls 
for the first two frames! Working in .net was more fun :-(

Then some database connectivity was the next step. Although nothing 
specifically related to the main project, this would add a 
no of forms / frames, would make the project seem bigger 
than it really is.

So the main modules of the app can be stated as:
1. User Management
2. Steg
3. Desteg
4. Log Writing

Of these theres nothing much to discuss about User Management - Just user login, registration, changing password etc.

Log Writer is my own contribution. Just logs out all activities done 
by the program. I wanted to learn about File I/O in Java, 
thats why that was implemented and also one more class.

Now the main parts are Steg and Desteg and ill discuss in detail about them soon...
