    Also, there is an excellent book out by Dave Cole called "Hiding in Plain
    Sight: Steganography and the Art of Covert Communication" which quickly lays
    out the theory and also suggests several utilities which I recall (currently
    don't have the book on hand) fit your requirements. Also, a portion of the
    book includes source code to an app that he was writing as part of his, at
    time of writing, current research so there is some foundation should anyone
    consider writing something similar. It is a short book, the theory is laid
    out so it is easy to follow both making for a quick read.

    Good point; however, it should be noted that combined it is a popular match
    since there are apps that are getting better at detecting the presence of
    hidden data so also encrypting it adds another layer of protection. Just to
    mention, stego's technique in transmitting data is COVERT in that it hides
    the fact that sensitive data is being sent and cryptography's "technique" is
    OVERT since it is apparent that sensitive data is being sent but turned into
    unintelligible text. Then again, maybe when the original poster stated
    "stego encryption program" he was asking for an app that did both, and we
    incorrectly implying that the two were getting confused making all this is
    moot.
