Features: Information hiding is an emerging discipline that is closely related to cryptography, multimedia, and computer networks. It achieves the purpose of concealing the existence of a secret message by hiding it within another message. It has broad application value in fields such as copyright protection and secure communication. This book systematically elaborates on the basic concepts, main technologies, attack methods, and applications of information hiding, while also introducing the main achievements of researchers at home and abroad in this field in recent years. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the development of information hiding technology, its terminology, main principles, and existing limitations. The remaining chapters provide detailed explanations of the main technologies and attack methods of information hiding techniques in areas such as steganography, digital watermarking, digital fingerprinting, covert channels in computer systems, subliminal channels in cryptography, low probability of intercept communication, broadcast encryption, and anonymous services. This book can serve as a teaching material for senior undergraduate or graduate students in related fields such as information security and cryptography, and can also be used as a reference for researchers in these fields.
