Second Edition
By
Peter Wayner, Writer, Baltimore, MD, USA
Description
Disappearing Cryptography, Second Edition describes how to take words, sounds, or images and hide them in digital data so they
look like other words, sounds, or images. When used properly, this powerful technique makes it almost impossible to trace the author
and the recipient of a message. Conversations can be submerged in the flow of information through the Internet so that no one can know
if a conversation exists at all.
This full revision of the best-selling first edition describes a number of different techniques to
hide information. These include encryption, making data incomprehensible; steganography, embedding information into video, audio, or
graphics files; watermarking, hiding data in the noise of image or sound files; mimicry, "dressing up" data and making it appear to be
other data, and more. The second edition also includes an expanded discussion on hiding information with spread-spectrum algorithms,
shuffling tricks, and synthetic worlds. Each chapter is divided into sections, first providing an introduction and high-level summary
for those who want to understand the concepts without wading through technical explanations, and then presenting greater detail for those
who want to write their own programs. To encourage exploration, the author's Web site www.wayner.org/books/discrypt2/ contains implementations
for hiding information in lists, sentences, and images.
Audience
General readers, Programmers, Cryptographers, Computer Scientists working in government and industry.
