Encryption : Steganos Security Suite
The problem with encrypted data is that it’s conspicuous. People might not be able to understand it, but they will know that there’s encrypted data there and that might prompt them to misread between the lines.
The solution is to put your data in a context where it looks perfectly natural. Using Steganos Security Suite, you can encrypt your data and then pick a host file, such as a digital photo, in which to hide it. Your encrypted data is then spread throughout the image by making tiny, imperceptible changes to the dots that make up the picture. This picture could be emailed, posted online or shared on a USB key. People would never suspect the photo contains hidden data, and even if they did, they would still need the password to recover it. The technique is called steganography, and can be used to hide any type of data inside sound or image files.
Today you can obtain commercial encryption software that uses the same standard techniques that the US government considers good enough for its ‘Top Secret’ information. The 256-bit AES algorithm which powers Steganos encryption software has never been cracked. It’s also easy to use. At its simplest, the Freecrypt service will encrypt text that you enter into a form on a webpage, according to the password you provide. To decrypt it, you return to the form and reverse the process.
