Re: Is there any work on entropy-lowering schemes?

So it seems possible to create a scheme that given a key will take a block of n bits and expand it to 1.5n or 2n bits, recoding it in such a way that determining the key is difficult even if one suspects such a scheme has been used... but that using the scheme will make the data look more like the MSBs of graphical data rather than encrypted data.

Stealth 1.3 (or is it 1.2?) does that, but it only makes the data look more like the MSBs, and not *exactly* like the MSBs. I think it's available from Adam Back's WWW site (http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/stealth/). Mark
