A new form of telecommunications is born, not requiring waves set up by electromagnetic fields to propagate, but waves set up by some other type of fields arising from the strong force. Governments, militaries and private entrepreneurs all want to share in this new technology. This book has been written to keep you entertained and interested by keeping the pace fast and providing continuity to the main story, chapter by chapter and by providing other stories whilst the main story progresses. Keeping at bay the bad guys who are out to kill or abduct the main characters keeps the pace up. In addition, there are anecdotes and descriptions on the applications of electronics and physics and descriptions of the various places visited by the main character and his female counterpart.
This book provides a selection of chapters on the subject of steganography. Steganography is the practice of undetectably altering a digital work to embed a message. The undetectability of the message in the altered work is an essential property of steganography, whereas the required alterations in the work may be perceived as long as the hidden information is undetectable and therefore also undecipherable by non-authorized parties. The design of a steganographic algorithm concerns the properties of the communication medium or channel; the cover work, usually in digital format; and the functions of embedding and decoding the message. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly essential to communications worldwide, hidden or undetectable communication provided by enhanced steganography techniques enables the secure information sharing required by many applications. For business, governmental, or personal sharing of information via communication networks, countermeasures need to be taken to ensure that a third party is unable to detect the existence of a message embedded in the work and to avoid even attempts at decoding the information without the authorization of the sender. The property of undetectability of steganography along with cryptographic techniques has derived secure information schemes in the literature and has been applied in practice. The issues and properties of steganography have been investigated by scientists and practitioners in order to evolve techniques to improve security while sharing information on the open network. This book offers chapters on steganography ranging from definitions to the basics issues and properties, scientific research on diverse techniques, applications for a variety of areas (cybersecurity, military or defense, law enforcement, healthcare, financial services, etc.), and discussions on future applications and current research on the topic.
In an era defined by digital connectivity, securing sensitive information against cyber threats is a pressing concern. As digital transmission systems advance, so do the methods of intrusion and data theft. Traditional security measures often need to catch up in safeguarding against sophisticated cyber-attacks. This book presents a timely solution by integrating steganography, the ancient art of concealing information, with cutting-edge deep learning techniques. By blending these two technologies, the book offers a comprehensive approach to fortifying the security of digital communication channels. Enhancing Steganography Through Deep Learning Approaches addresses critical issues in national information security, business and personal privacy, property security, counterterrorism, and internet security. It thoroughly explores steganography's application in bolstering security across various domains. Readers will gain insights into the fusion of deep learning and steganography for advanced encryption and data protection, along with innovative steganographic techniques for securing physical and intellectual property. The book also delves into real-world examples of thwarting malicious activities using deep learning-enhanced steganography. This book is tailored for academics and researchers in Artificial Intelligence, postgraduate students seeking in-depth knowledge in AI and deep learning, smart computing practitioners, data analysis professionals, and security sector professionals.
Prince Stefan of New Britannia knows that he must find the way to conquer his human pride and follow the path of grace. This was commanded by the Glory as Book 1 of Land of Angels ended. Now it seems that Stefan's path and that of his twin sister, Princess Anne, will diverge for the first time in their many lives. The Glory has given them the powers of angels--they can heal, they can hear the thoughts of others and see both back in time and, when the Glory permits, into the future. Stefan expects that he will know the Glory's specific plans for him immediately. Instead, he must remain at the Royal Estate through Advent until Ash Wednesday of the coming year. On that day, he will give an internationally screened sermon to mark the beginning of Lent. Stefan longs to return to Master Koto in New Tibet to find out the Glory's will but instead is called upon once again to help his uncle, who is Pope Adrian X, and the monastery of Terre Les Anges, the Land of Angels. He must also help Brother Luke, who was with Stefan in Rome when they found Stefan's best friend, Aidan. Rebecca, Stefan's love, has returned to her studies and a life without Stefan. She wants to explore further the life of Alyssa Craig, as recorded in The Veiled World, the first book of this trilogy. Now Aidan is set to marry Princess Anne, and Stefan has time only for a brief visit to New Tibet until Lent begins. On his return, he accompanies Rebecca to New America, and they are told the secret history of what happened after Alyssa returned to New America. Finally, Stefan is called to the path of grace, where the Glory has given Stefan a choice to follow it or not, and which means he might die in this life. The decision is his.

Steganography is the art of secret writing. The purpose of steganography is to hide the presence of a message from the intruder by using state-of-the-art methods, algorithms, architectures, models, and methodologies in the domains of cloud, internet of things (IoT), and the Android platform. Though security controls in cloud computing, IoT, and Android platforms are not much different than security controls in an IT environment, they might still present different types of risks to an organization than the classic IT solutions. Therefore, a detailed discussion is needed in case there is a breach in security. It is important to review the security aspects of cloud, IoT, and Android platforms related to steganography to determine how this new technology is being utilized and improved continuously to protect information digitally. The benefits and challenges, along with the current and potential developments for the future, are important keystones in this critical area of security research. Multidisciplinary Approach to Modern Digital Steganography reviews the security aspects of cloud, IoT, and Android platforms related to steganography and addresses emerging security concerns, new algorithms, and case studies in the field. Furthermore, the book presents a new approach to secure data storage on cloud infrastructure and IoT along with including discussions on optimization models and security controls that could be implemented. Other important topics include data transmission, deep learning techniques, machine learning, and both image and text stenography. This book is essential for forensic engineers, forensic analysts, cybersecurity analysts, cyber forensic examiners, security engineers, cybersecurity network analysts, cyber network defense analysts, and digital forensic examiners along with practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest techniques and state-of-the-art methods in digital steganography.
