I'm not sure if this is novel, but it's new to me, and a lot of fun to brighten up our otherwise dull day.
Some guys over on dgcchat have stumbled on a simple steganography method. What follows is their own words, but in an edited single sequence: ======================================= Ragnar: Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. Ragnar (2): I suppose, for those that don't have encryption, a proggy can be developed to change around words (keeping the last and first letter the same) in an email before sending, based on this research. :) Ken Griffith adds: Taht wulod be an execlenlt way to sned emial msesgaes in palin txet taht cnnaot be dteetced by ehceoln. One culod tlak aoubt bmbos, trerroitss and suftf lkie taht wiohtut trgigreing the fagls. ======================================= No work on the original research though. -- iang --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
