Steganography

In this class we talk a great deal about cryptologists and cryptanalysts, however, we have not talked about steganography that recently. Steganography is hiding the existence of a message. This comes from the two words "steganos"and "graphein." These two words mean covered and to write. While keeping this in mind I decided to find out more about steganography. I set out thinking that I would find examples of steganography in the past, instead I found steganography used today. I had no idea that you could download software, find tips, and tools to help you hide files among other things. It was a naive thought to believe that steganography is not used that much, but I am still amazed that it is possible to download information and software off of the website to help with these kinds of things. There was no specific website or software I looked at in particular, but they all seem to have the same goal. So if you are reading this blog and like to hide your files on your computer ( I can't because iI am technologically challenged) you should check out more about this topic!
