John previously worked as a Network Administrator for We-are-secure Inc. He has now resigned from the company for personal reasons and wants to send out confidential company information. To do this, he takes an image file, uses the tool image hide to embed the secret file within an image of the famous actress Jennifer Lopez, and sends it to his Yahoo Mail ID. Because he is using an image file to transmit the data, his company's mail server cannot filter the email. Which of the following techniques is he using to accomplish this task?

Explanation
