In the Oregonian March 19, 2001 Page D1 there is an article entitled "Hidden Content -- Criminals use steganography to send illicit data in what appears to be innocuous files". The article can be found here: http://www.oregonlive.com/business/oregonian/index.ssf?/business/oregonian/0... This thing trots our every horseman under the sun, from Terrorists, nerve gas makers, and every other fear mongering group possible. You have to read it to believe it. It reads just like a press release from the FBI's department of disinformation. Probably the most fear-mongering peice of crap I have read in the Oregonian in quite a while. (Even beyond the headline about vampire cults (i.e. Goths) being responsible for blood drinking murders.) Stego is going to be the big target for anti-crypto propaganda. Expect similar stories in a paper near you. alan@ctrl-alt-del.com | Note to AOL users: for a quick shortcut to reply Alan Olsen | to my mail, just hit the ctrl, alt and del keys.
