Basic Steganalysis Concepts
Steganography is the art of passing information in a manner that the very existence of the message is unknown. The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. If suspicion is raised, then this goal is defeated. Steganalysis is the art of discovering and rendering useless such covert messages. The following are a few of my papers on steganalysis and countermeasures. For a more complete list of papers and presentations, see publications and research.
