  1. Steganography • Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) • Like encryption, steganography involves the securing of information through the manipulation of data [1] • By contrast, cryptography obscures the meaning of a message, but it does not conceal the fact that there is a message (Wikipedia). Steganography is designed to hide the data from the view [1] • Steganography is the science of hiding information. Whereas the goal of cryptography is to make data unreadable by a third party, the goal of steganography is to hide the data from a third party (Garry C. Kessler) [2]

  2. History • The word steganography is of Greek origin and means "covered, or hidden writing". • The term steganography was introduced at the end of the 15th century • The use of steganography dates back several millennia. • In ancient times, messages were hidden on the back of wax writing tables, written on the stomachs of rabbits, or tattooed on the bald head of soldiers

  3. Steganographic Message • Steganographic Message has three parts: • container or carrier: the file which conceals data • hidden message: the actual data • steganography key: could be the hidden message was also encrypted, or the key was used for the steganography method
