ABSTRACT
As opposed to the definition of cryptography, steganography means covered writing (or originally in the Greek language, stegano, “στεγαυο,” which translates literally as “watertight” and, as in the definition of cryptography, the “-graphy” from γραϕια—grafia or writing). Its history is as deep as is crypto. As a linguistic anomaly, the “watertight” translation is reminiscent of a usage of steganography in modern times, the creation of “watermarks” to identify a paper manufacturer.
