Due to rapid advances in consumer computing, most data is stored electronically, without any physical copy. Thus, securing this data has become an important issue to consider. Steganography allows us to hide information within other information or digital media to prevent snooping. Cryptography encrypts the information so that snoopers cannot decipher it with ease. If information hiding employs cryptography, followed by steganography, then even if a third party guesses you have used steganography, it is unable to gain access to the information with ease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
