    Nothing to do with exif.

    Steganography uses the image data itself by modifying image bits a very
    slight amount up or down to represent the data of the hidden message.
    To the viewer of the image there is no apparent information - it is in
    "in the noise" so to speak.

    With the right s/w and "password" (or key) decoding the data is trivial.

    Detecting images with steganography in them is hard as well as it's
    literally in the noise. So statistical techniques might find evidence
    of it - but still not be able to decode and prove it absent the key and particular encode algorithm used.

    EXIF could be used for additional data, but would be more easily
    detected. It could also indicate secretly to the receiver which
    specific algorithm was used and which one-time pad key was used - but
    this is pushing it a bit.

    Because EXIF is not at all the method used. At all.

    See my other post about steganography ... which /is/ mentioned in the
    article. Because that is a pretty nice way to do this sort of thing in
    the open with a low probability of detection.

    No reason why info related to the picture could not be easily added to

    case in point.

    But as I said, a novel use for EXIF data.

    There is no mention of "EXIF" in the article.


    Not specifically.

    Because EXIF is not at all the method used.  At all.

    See my other post about steganography ... which /is/ mentioned in the
    article.  Because that is a pretty nice way to do this sort of thing
    in the open with a low probability of detection.

    But there is no reason that I could not include "NNNN is a dick" In
    EXIF. Which is the point I was making, and not the point the article was making.

    I suggest you sharpen your points before making them in the future -
    esp. when linking an article in the post that describes something else.

    If we were pedants, we'd tell you that pedantic is not the correct word.
