- The practice of hiding messages
Explanation: The art of steganography, sometimes known as the “James Bond” of the digital world, consists of concealing messages within other messages or data that seem to be completely harmless. Instead of encrypting the message, steganography conceals its existence. It might be as easy as concealing a message in the pixels of a picture or in the bits of a file that are considered to be of the least significance. It is possible that you won’t even be aware that there is a secret message to decipher if you don’t know where to search or how to search for it.
