Abstract

The main purpose of steganography is to hide the presence of communication. While most methods in use today are invisible to an observer's senses, mathematical analysis may reveal statistical anomalies in the stego medium. These discrepancies expose the fact that hidden communication is happening. The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. If suspicion is raised, then this goal is defeated. Discovering and rendering useless such covert messages is a new art form known as steganalysis. In this Paper, we provide an overview of some characteristics in information hiding methods that direct the steganalyst to the existence of a hidden message and identify where to look for hidden information.
