Recommended: Importance of steganography

At the first thought of steganography what is the first thing that pops into you mind? For me I would have to stay the court steganography. It is really the only way I heard steganography mention before, but after research I came to the realization that court steganography is just one part of the various types of steganography that there are. Steganography is the art of covered or hidden writing. The purpose of steganography is covert communication to hide a message from a third party (Gary). Going all the way back to the caveman error steganography exited. There form of usage were painting on the wall that they used to communicate with each other. Some were simpler than others to understand others are still being coded as I write on this …show more content…

Semagrams hide information by the use of symbols or signs(Gary).The different types of semagram are visual, and text. A visual semagram uses innocent everyday physical objects to carry a message, such as doodles like random drawing on a piece of paper or the positioning of items on a desk or Website( Gray). In retrospect it takes a normal object that would be open to the eye out in the open but it is wearing a mask from another reason.. A text semagram hides a message by modifying the appearance of the carrier text, such as subtle changes in font size or type, adding extra spaces, or different trappings in letters or handwritten text. Open codes hide a message in a legitimate carrier message in ways that are not obvious to an unsuspecting observer(Gray). The carrier message is sometimes called the overt communication whereas the hidden message is the covert communication. This reminds me of how the government encourages use websites like Facebook and Instagram so they can have permission to access to our phones. They use the permission page from the source to somewhat mention the access but not in a way everyone can

  • Final Project for Criminal Evidence and Procedures

    2001 Words  | 5 Pages

    From a trial strategy point of view, you always start with the piece(s) of evidence you believe are most damaging to the client's case and work backwards looking for an exploitable flaw in the search and seizure procedure that would make that or those item(s) inadmissible. The further back in the series of events you can argue a fatal flaw, the more likely that the evidence and any additional materials which flowed from that particular item of evidence will be excluded. This is the practical analysis of all the times we see or hear of law enforcement arguing that there was some technical item which drew their attention and suspicion and justifies their hunch that criminal activity is afoot.

  • Cameras in the Courtroom

    2274 Words  | 5 Pages

    Throughout history there have always been issues concerning judicial courts and proceedings: issues that include everything from the new democracy of Athens, Greece, to the controversial verdict in the Casey Anthony trial as well as the Trayvon Martin trial. One of the more recent and ever changing issues revolves around cameras being allowed and used inside courtrooms. It was stated in the Handbook of Court Administration and Management by Stephen W. Hays and Cole Blease Graham, Jr. that “the question of whether or not to allow cameras in American courtrooms has been debated for nearly fifty years by scholars, media representatives, concerned citizens, and others involved in the criminal justice system.” The negatives that can be attached to the presence of cameras inside a courtroom are just as present, if not more present, than the positives that go hand-in-hand with the presence of cameras.

  • What physical evidence does in a criminal trial and the vast impact it can make

    1677 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the criminal justice system, the best chance of a fair trial and justice lies within cases that include physical evidence. Physical evidence, whether fibers, fingerprints, or DNA, can give a jury proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Physical evidence can convict a criminal, or it can free an innocent man. It can bring closure to families and to the law enforcement that work the cases. The following cases will show what physical evidence does in a criminal trial and the vast impact it can make. For each case I will examine how the physical evidence was important to the case and whether or not it could have made more of a difference if the presentation of the evidence were different. The five cases are: the Mosley case, the Warren case, the Chandler case, the Frediani case, and the Swift Case.

  • The Use of Symbols to Ensure Confidential Communication

    2451 Words  | 5 Pages

    Since the industrial revolution, communications technology has improved at an alarming rate. From the invention of the printing press to the rapidly expanding internet, it becomes easier to communicate with others every day. One downfall of this revolution is that it is much more difficult to keep confidential papers documents secure. In such a volatile environment a document can be stolen, scanned, and sent to the rest of the world within a span of five minutes. Once a person gets a hold of this information they can read it if it is in their own language or get it translated if it is in a foreign language. If a picture, symbol, or badge, is exploited in the same manner through the internet, it will not have such a crippling effect. Although viewers will be able to see the illustration, they will only derive from it whatever values or characteristics they associate the symbols with. However, the people who are affiliated with the image derive more important facts from it. They might associate the illustration with historical meaning, personal stories, or how the image was created. Literate means of communication are imply universal understanding while symbols have the ability to convey different levels of meaning and comprehension to different groups of viewers. This dichotomy creates different niches for literate and visual means of communication to be used in. If material is meant to be understood universally and to convey the same meaning to all viewers than literate means of communication should be employed. If certain details are to be communicated to a select group of individuals, then symbols are a more effective way of ensuring secrecy. Symbols indicate the need for communication and yet conceal the details and innermost aspects of its contents (Religious).

  • Steganography: Early Greeks And Demaratus

    147 Words  | 1 Pages

    The first recorded use of steganography dates back to the early Greeks and the ruler, Demaratus. As king of Sparta, Demaratus ruled from 515 to 491 B.C. At this time, it was common to write on waxed tablets. To communicate a warning of an impending attack on Greece by the Persian ruler Xerxes, Demaratus scraped the wax off of a wooden tablet, inscribed a message, and then covered the tablet in wax once again. In this way, the tablets carried secret information to the intended recipient without arousing suspicion. Other times of conflict are rich with examples of steganography. The Underground Railroad used quilt patterns to direct slaves on their journey northward, cryptographic writing was used numerous times in both World War I and II, and

  • Importance Of Image Steganography

    2779 Words  | 6 Pages

    Greek words “stegos” means “cover” and “grafia ”means writing” defining it as “covered writing”. Steganography is the method through which existence of the secret message can be kept secret. This is achieved by hiding secret message behind another media such as image, audio and video. In image steganography, the message is hidden behind an image. The image into which a message is hidden is called a cover image and the result is stego-image. Two important properties that should be considered while designing a steganographic algorithm are undetectability and embedding capacity. The stego-image must be undetectable and it should embed more data. Steganography has various applications. It can be used in military, commercial and anti-criminal applications, transmission of confidential documents between international governments, e-commerce, media, database systems , digital watermarking etc.

    Stegonagraphy is a form of hidden communication that literally means covered writing (Niklasson). The message itself is left in plain view for all to see, but goes unnoticed because the very existence of there even being a message is secret. One popular expression used to describe this method is hidden in plain sight, experts refer to this as Security through Obscurity (Duraiswamy). This is of course in distinction to cryptography where the message is actually scrambled, and the data left virtually unintelligible (encryption) to the eavesdropper even though the existence of a message is often times known beforehand.
