Secret Data: Steganography v Steganalysis

gManZboy writes "Two researchers in China has taken a look at the steganography vs. steganalysis arms race. Steganography (hiding data) has drawn more attention recently, as those concerned about information security have recognized that illicit use of the technique might become a threat (to companies or even states). Researchers have thus increased study of steganalysis, the detection of embedded information."

I agree with all of your points, but have a minor quibble with your terminology.

I think you want "totalitarian" where you used "socialist." There are plenty of democratic socialist countries (Sweden, for instance, and some would say Canada). And you could have a democratic communist country; "democracy" is a political system, whereas "communism" is an economic system.

Sure, in point of fact, most communist governments have been totalitarian. But it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. And socialism certainly doesn't correlate with dictatorships or totalitarian regimes.

Not a huge big deal; it's just that that confusion of terms is a pet peeve of mine.
