Each chapter begins with a clever anecdote or game that introduces the subject (sometimes elliptically, which is only appropriate for a book on data hiding). A plain-language description of the technology follows, and each chapter finishes with mathematically rigorous proofs and solutions. If you are a newcomer, you will enjoy the new ideas, though you will have to trust that the technology works. If you understand some of what's going on, you will appreciate the new information and applications, as well as the in-depth descriptions of the technologies. And if you are an expert, you will still certainly find something to take away from Wayner's clever way of integrating ideas, which at times recalls Douglas R. Hofstedter's Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid.


Book Description
Standard cryptography locks information in a mathematical safe and many governments, corporations, and citizens of the Net are quickly embracing it to protect their privacy. But traditional algorithms like DES won't protect you against an active attack that jams a transmission, diverts an e-mail message, or erases some files. The disappearing cryptography (aka steganography) in this book is the solution. The algorithms show how to make information invisible. If you don't know it's there, you... read more
