"This is one of those threats that confounds and frustrates digital forensics examiners today. Steganography is only used by the more sophisticated bad guys. This book helps to bring this threat out from behind the green door." -Jim Christy, Special Agent (Ret), HQE/Director, Futures Exploration (FX)/Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3)"This book is the most comprehensive text yet published about Steganography, with coverage of everything from the history of the art and science of hiding data to the myriad applications and mechanisms of digital stego. This is a must-read for any serious student of the field." -Gary C. Kessler, Ph.D., CCE, CISSP / Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University"From the age old "cloak and dagger" images; to the age old fable of "which came first, the chicken or the egg", data hiding is the backbone of information security or insecurity. Data Hidingbrings the past, present, and future of data hiding out from under the cloak into the sunlight. Giving real world examples and more importantly how to defend against them." -Richard Rushing, CISO, Motorola Mobility
