Information Hiding with Steganography

In this course, you will explore techniques how data is hidden within digital media to prevent detection from two angels: first, we will explore approaches to conceal information and the methods used to detect it. 

Within this course, you get an introduction to different image types and colour models together with lossless and lossy compression techniques. This is fundamental to understand the different possibilities to hide information in digital images. Then different approaches such as spatial and transform domain steganography as well as JPEG steganography give examples of how information is concealed in digital images. The course also covers assessment criteria for steganography and steganalysis – the process of detecting hidden data. 

This course is delivered to you by SPECTRO. SPECTRO is a consortium consisting of 12 higher education institutions from 7 different countries, 2 innovative SMEs, and one leading research center in Information Systems and EIT Digital.
