Information Hiding Techniques for Steganography and Digital Watermarking

Steganography, a means by which two or more parties may communicate using ?invisible? or ?subliminal? communication, and watermarking, a means of hiding copyright data in images, are becoming necessary components of commercial multimedia applications that are subject to illegal use. This book is the first comprehensive survey of steganography and watermarking and their application to modern communications and multimedia.

Gain an understanding of steganography, the history of this previously neglected element of cryptography, the hurdles of international law on strong cryptographic techniques, and a description of methods you can use to hide information in modern media with this resource. Included is an overview of ?Steganalysis,? methods which can be used to break steganographic communication.
