> a) What's stenography?

Using a little machine to write text that hardly anyone else can read,
especially in a court or other official gathering.

> b) What's stegography?

Using a little dinosaur to write text that hardly anyone else can
read.  (Watch out for little teeth and rabid animal-rights advocates.)
This technique has died out in recent years.

OTOH, steganography is a method of sending messages with improved
security by hiding them in other, innocuous-looking messages.
