[LUG] OT: Steganography - hiding data in plain sight; An alternative to encryption?

 

http://www.unixmen.com/news-today/1683-soon-secure-confidential-data-on-hdd-without-encryption-on-open-source-software-?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+unixmenhowtos+%28Unixmen+Howtos+%26+Tutorials%29

Sorry about the long URL.

An open source project into Steganography - hiding information in
"plain sight". Might be of interest....

Some years ago I was partially involved with a project that used the
least significant bit of the bytes used to define a bitmap image. The
project would have used this least significant bit to "hide" data in
plain sight.

Best wishes
roly :-)
