Minor Risk to LSB Steganography

Last week I attended a lecture given by Dexter Kozen at Cornell, on "Efficient Algorithms for Optimal Transmission of Video Data". He mentioned in passing a couple of approaches to choosing data that may acceptably be lost in the process (i.e. without excessive picture quality degradation). One scheme (which I believe counts as a "corona method") involves simply discarding the LSBs of all the encoded pixels or whatnot. This method was not at all a focus of the talk. Anyway, I thought I'd mention it as another minor potential threat to the use of LSB steganography in video transmission, e.g. MPEG streams. -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>
