Based on the comments on slashdot it appears that Niels Provos, whose program found no steganography in millions of images on the web, was able to detect and decode an example image planted by ABC as part of their documentary on steganography and mentioned b ythem on the air. The example was a picture hidden mixed in to another picture revealed using the password 'ABC'. I don't think this is an example of steganography in the wild. It does show that the software would have been effective at finding hidden unencrypted pictures protected by simple English words if anyone was posting such things on the sites that Provos searched. As to why that is more effective than an email from one anonymous hotmail account to another saying "Everything is set. Proceed according to plan" or even "Plans have changed, make contact through the usual channels" I have no idea. -- sidney --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
