Thumbnail steganography creates a thumbnail from a source image and stores data in it by altering the color channels. To decipher the data, a new thumbnail is made from the original image and the differences between the pixels are calculated. This is intended to increase complexity of automated deciphering of images containing extra (steganographied) data. It requires both the original and the thumbnail to decipher. The original works like a key to unlock the thumbnail.
