    Steganography is the art and science of hiding communication by embedding hidden content within unremarkable cover media so as not to arouse suspicion. In the past, hidden tattoos and invisible ink were used, while today computer and network technologies provide easy ways to hide information within digital files like images, audio, and video by replacing redundant bits with hidden data. The process identifies bits that can be altered without affecting the cover medium, and creates a stego-medium containing the hidden message.

    What is steganography?

    Steganography is the art and science of hiding communication; a steganographic system thus embeds hidden content in unremarkable cover media so as not to arouse an eavesdroppers suspicion. In the past, people used hidden tattoos or invisible ink to convey steganographic content. Today, computer and network technologies provide easy-to-use communication channels for steganography. Essentially, the information-hiding process in a steganographic system starts by identifying a cover mediums redundant bits (those that can be modified without destroying that mediums integrity). The embedding process creates a stego medium by replacing these redundant bits with data from the hidden message.

    The art of hiding information inside information Since everyone can read, encoding text in neutral sentences is doubtfully effective

    What is it used for?


    Hiding the fact that you are sending messages Hiding several messages inside data Digital watermarking Deniable cryptography Knowledge of encrypted data No proof of how much information is stored

    Implementation
    Hiding information Text / Webpages Images

    Audio Video Cover image Identify redundant data Replace (a subset of) redundant bits with data

    Detection
    Text
    Look for (disturbings of) patterns Odd use of language Line heights and whitespaces

    Audio
    Statistical analysis Analyze patterns in background noise Distortions Measure inaudible frequencies

    Video
    Look for distinguishing movements Same techniques as with images Same techniques as with audio
