Steganography

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001167

The practice of concealing a message, image, or file within another message, image, or file, making its presence undetectable to an casual observer. Unlike cryptography, which scrambles a message, steganography aims to hide the fact that communication is taking place at all. Common methods involve altering the least significant bits of image or audio files.
