Introduction
1. IntroductionSteganography conceals the fact that a message is being sent. It is a method akin to covert channels, spread spectrum communication and invisible inks which adds another step in security. A message in ciphertext may arouse suspicion while an invisible message will not. 1.1 Purpose of PaperThis paper introduces steganography by explaining what it is, providing a brief history with illustrations of some methods for implementing steganography, and comparing available software providing steganographic services. Though the forms are many, the focus of the software evaluation in this paper is on the use of images in steganography. |
