Steganography (Was Re: What kind of encryption to incorporate?)
Responding to msg by a.brown@nexor.co.uk (Andrew Brown) on Tue, 2 Aug 9:55 AM
Has anyone got any more ideas?
Andy: Some features of CAD programs such as AutoCad may be useful for concealment. Want to discuss here or by e-mail? Caution: I'm crypto impaired, but quite devious advantaged. John

Hmmm, hadn't thought about that possibility.

Here should be fine, there seems enough interest.
Please keep discussing it here! There's only so much of this other stuff that I can take - my brain needs refreshment. How about hiding data in digitized audio? With enough audio the data wouldn't degrade the signal noticably.

I've already done that, it's included in the s-tools v2 package as a module to conceal information in .WAV files. The effect on quality when using the LSB of an 8 bit 11Khz mono sample is not noticeable unless the original sound is highly pure (e.g. downloaded from a synth). Even then it only shows up as _very_ faint interference that needs a good hi-fi to hear and the original sample for comparison. Regards, - Andy

is this a DOS only program, or are you distributing source? Where can I FTP it from?

Windows 3.1 shareware, you get source if you register. If you want to take a look then try: ftp.dsi.unimi.it /pub/security/code/s-tools2.zip (I think!) The gzip steganography patches that I made are freely available from: ftp.netcom.com /pub/qwerty/Steganography I was particularly pleased with myself when these worked, since it demonstrates that you don't need sampled data in order to hide information.
