What if they have a system which just runs an app that takes a picture with a phone and encodes the data in the least significant bits of the photo? If they can keep the LSB order random using an crytographically secure PRNG, it would be somewhat secure. The problem is, if an adversary believes a photo contains stego info, then it just becomes a crypto problem. Stego is just a form of security through obscurity, which generally isnt a good security policy.

OH GREAT NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT THAT THE ALIENS WILL STOP USING ME
Back to being alone I guess

Again!? 🤣 I give them 6months to a year before this is found to be a scam or used by criminals and the Feds requiring a backdoor that is then exploited by cyber criminals 🤣

No but Putin wants you to think so. It's more likely to result in the US producing more nukes.

All you need is an inside man to get you the password.

> Cryptographic hashes are a perfect test for this type of communication - the hash of the original will never match that of the altered copy
You're assuming you can access the original.

Nobody but you has access to the original, so unless you can detect the steganography without the original it is "perfectly secure".
I didn't read anything on this, but I'm guessing the only real advance is that the encoding is not discernable from noise.

Reply to Stanford Medicine scientists have found a way to transform cancer cells into weapons against cancer. by sgfgross
These are all things that might help people who have cancer in 50 years. Really you just b need to survive the next 120 years and if you’re wealthy, you might be able to live indefinitely.

It's quite likely that tools like this are already in use by intelligence agencies. The concept of steganography is not new, and the advantages are obvious.

Reactionary behavior isn't the answer on an individual to individual interaction, nor that of state relations.

This is my general argument for the whole "ban tiktok" argument.
To think that it's just Tiktok doing this is ignorant.
We literally saw Facebook's affect on politics via Cambridge Analytica, and that was 100% data driven science. They literally manipulated the flow of information to particular types of people and fucked with their brains enough to sway their whole thought processes.
To think there is no one else in the world doing this is ridiculous.

That's nice...the government will have access to this, and anything they have access to, they'll learn to break into. I'd be surprised if the CIA's "PRISM" can't intercept communications under this new protocol within the year.
