II. Cryptography & Steganography

Steganography and cryptography are two closely related fields within information security, though distinct in their specific applications. Steganography, a subfield of cryptography, focuses on the method of hiding information within other mediums, aiming to conceal the very existence of the data. Both disciplines work towards securing information, albeit through different approaches. Steganography does so by embedding data within innocuous-looking carriers, such as images, audio files, or text documents, ensuring that the hidden information remains undetected. Cryptography, on the other hand, is the broader field that encompasses techniques for securing information, including both encryption and decryption methods to protect data from unauthorized access. By leveraging techniques from both cryptography and steganography, these methods can provide layers of security, ensuring that not only the content but also the presence of the information is kept secret. Together, these two fields offer comprehensive solutions for secure communication and data protection in a variety of applications.
