Steganography - is it becoming a double-edged sword in computer security?
نویسنده
چکیده
The growth of the Internet has stimulated the use and the misuse of Steganography. At its simplest level, Steganography, the art of hiding secret messages within the structure of another media. While legitimate and justifiable applications for steganography exist, criminally-minded people or organisations can also use it for underground, illicit and deliberately secret communication. The objective, similar to cryptography is to make it impossible for those without the key to break the code, however Steganography operates at a more complex level as detection is dependent on recognising the underlying hidden data. This paper introduces the topic of steganography and evaluates the applications, both positive and negative. This paper finds steganography to be both a helpful and a hindering force in the computing milieu. A more thorough investigation is needed to aid a variety of stakeholders: law policy makers, security professionals and the general internet populace.
