hi thanks all of you who responded. i really appreciate the caring my information recieved. thanks for the links. thread closed. i also wanted to put my 2 cents in :whenever someone's emails someone off-the-list, basicly just smalltalk, the person who got the email shouldn't send it to the whole fricking list. again thanks see you On Thu, 25 Mar 2004 12:14:02 -0800, "C I" <chris_imes () hotmail com> said:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1i'm looking for a very simple,reliable, small (certainly less the 1mb), must-have gui, windows, stenographic encryption program. i'd appreciate any recommendations.There's a nice list at: http://www.jjtc.com/Steganography/toolmatrix.htmAlso, there is an excellent book out by Dave Cole called "Hiding in Plain Sight: Steganography and the Art of Covert Communication" which quickly lays out the theory and also suggests several utilities which I recall (currently don't have the book on hand) fit your requirements. Also, a portion of the book includes source code to an app that he was writing as part of his, at time of writing, current research so there is some foundation should anyone consider writing something similar. It is a short book, the theory is laid out so it is easy to follow both making for a quick read. http://tinyurl.com/2u42oAlthough steganography has close links to crypto, they are different. Where crypto hides data behind encryption, stego hides it in plain site.Good point; however, it should be noted that combined it is a popular match since there are apps that are getting better at detecting the presence of hidden data so also encrypting it adds another layer of protection. Just to mention, stego's technique in transmitting data is COVERT in that it hides the fact that sensitive data is being sent and cryptography's "technique" is OVERT since it is apparent that sensitive data is being sent but turned into unintelligible text. Then again, maybe when the original poster stated "stego encryption program" he was asking for an app that did both, and we incorrectly implying that the two were getting confused making all this is moot. - -- Chris I. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFAYz1kjzsHapaBFZ8RAnviAJ9bQsCR6cnPoyNiN4A4G1rZ2X3Q2wCfeuVQ jwg1ZOntUzMEX/2zSr6onQg= =6jj+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________________________________________________ Find a broadband plan that fits.
