The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Information Hiding Techniques for Steganography and Digital Watermarking':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Steganography can be used for sending encrypted messages, but the primary emphasis in this volume is in the use of techniques for detecting forgery, theft of intellectual property, and modification of a digital object. Digital watermarking is probably best known to the general public from the transparent logos used on cable channels to try and prevent, or at least identify, illegally taped copies of programs. Chapter one gives us a definition of steganography and digital watermarking, some history, and some editorial on the counterintuitive links between the technical partnership of encryption and digital signatures. Part one outlines secret writing and steganography, the latter being the art of hiding a message in plain sight. Chapter two deals with the principles of steganography. Unfortunately, while the general principles are explained, the details require some number theory. The formal definitions that are used, for example, refer to axioms that are not presented in the text. Most of the techniques explained in chapter three are graphical, but a few are applicable to text. Steganalysis is, of course, dependent upon the techniques being used, and various products are analyzed in chapter four. Part two looks at watermarking and copyright. Chapter five examines watermarking principles and evaluation criteria. Techniques are described in chapter six. Chapter seven deals with the reasons that copyright marking technologies require highly robust algorithms and systems. Chapter eight reviews digital fingerprinting, for individual identification. Legal considerations are discussed in chapter nine, in regard to watermarking, the Internet, and copyright. A common problem in many collective works is that the various submissions have differing styles and tend to overlap and repeat topics. While there are certainly stylistic differences between the chapters in this book, the authors/editors have kept repetition and duplication to a minimum. copyright Robert M. Slade, 2000
