Summary: Book Description
Review: Steganography, a means by which two or more parties may communicate using "invisible" or "subliminal" communication, and watermarking, a means of hiding copyright data in images, are becoming necessary components of commercial multimedia applications that are subject to illegal use. This new book is the first comprehensive survey of steganography and watermarking and their application to modern communications and multimedia.

Handbook of Information Hiding: Steganography and Watermarking helps you understand steganography, the history of this previously neglected element of cryptography, the hurdles of international law on strong cryptographic techniques, and a description of methods you can use to hide information in modern media. Included in this discussion is an overview of "Steganalysis," methods which can be used to break steganographic communication.

This comprehensive resource also includes an introduction to and survey of watermarking methods, and discusses this method's similarities and differences to steganography. You gain a working knowledge of watermarking's pros and cons, and you learn the legal implications of watermarking and copyright issues on the Internet.

Contents: History of Steganography. Principles of Steganography. A Survey of Current Steganography Techniques. Steganalysis. Introduction to Watermarking Techniques. A Survey of Current Watermarking Techniques. Robustness of Copyright Marking Systems. Fingerprinting. Copyright on the Internet and Watermarking: Tort Choice of Law Issues.
