Conventional cryptography is like shipping a safe in an armored car with a regiment of soldiers around it. Everyone knows that there's something secret inside. This book describes steganography, the science of hiding or disguising information so it can only be found by someone who knows where to look.
This book deals with how information can disappear so that no one knows of its existence. Convential cryptography merely scambles information into an impenetrable block. This book describes how data can be hidden in the background noise of pictures, sound recording or even bad poetry. Disappearing Cryptography is a collection of mathematical tricks and computational sleights of hand that explore the very foundations of information.
