3. Digital Image Steganography

Digital image steganography is a form of art.  Originating from Greek roots, the word steganography means "to cover tightly" and "writing."  Therefore, digital stegaongraphy is a message hidden in a digital format.  In its earlier forms in history, it was classified as cryptography and was written in code and ciphers.  Digital steganography is used in in many types of files such as graphics, HTML, sound files, video, and text.  ZThough the most prominent type of file one would would find steganography in is an image file.

On the computer, images are produced by precise coding of binary and hexidecimal patterns.  Also constructed by binary coding are letters, numbers, and all the characters one can find on a keyboard as well as special alt characters.  In the embedding of an images makeup, digital image steganographers can overlay certain codes and messages within an image.
