Steganography and Steganalysis: An Overview

Steganography is a dynamic tool with a long history and the capability to adapt to new levels of technology. As the steganographic tools become more advanced, the steganalyst and the tools they use must also advance. Like any tool, steganography (and steganalysis) is neither inherently good nor evil, it is the manner in which it is used which will determine whether it is a benefit or a detriment to our society.
