We are talking about taking photos from a monitor screen.
In retrospect, photographing documents has always been the most effective way to collect information and obtain confidential information. Drawings and diagrams, troop deployment plans, maps and other materials were photographed, showing miracles of ingenuity in reducing the size of cameras. By embedding photographic equipment in a variety of household items and personal items, from wristwatches to smoking pipes. In our time, the need for such tricks has disappeared. The smartphone has become an integral part of our lives, but data still needs to be protected! What to do?
To and security experts came a seemingly old technology egypt whatsapp data steganography - from the Greek στεγανός ("hidden") + γράφω ("I write"); literally: "secret writing".
The essence of this technology is to place hidden, non-obvious data in obvious and clear data. Simply put, depending on the task, it is possible to modify text or a graphic image, picture, graph, photograph, drawing in such a way that it is unnoticeable for a spy. But at the same time, if such an image is found in external sources, which in our time have become, for example, social networks, it is possible to determine the source of the data leak. On which monitor of which computer and by which user this document was opened at the time when it was photographed.
Much depends on the document format: text, image. When using the steganography mechanism in one form or another, various technologies can be applied, which formed the basis for implementation in the Crosstech Docs Security Suite (DSS) product.
