Research ideas
Research questions:
- How would be possible to set a pirate library through steganography?
- Which technologies would be used?
- Which books would be included?
Research thought:
interest in hiding files in other files (imagine a PDF with an audio file?) A sound file has a whole library inside it. JPEG has free space inside it. (metadata ... EXIF data .... ) Steganography
hiding books in other books
censorship
books on the blacklist
read&seek
pirate library is pirating it’s own files
hiding pirated books in “official” library

→ Steganography
Digital steganography, a set of algorithmic techniques for hiding data in files, is often used to hide text messages (or other digital content) within the bits of an image. In contrast to cryptography, steganography allows to hide the very fact that you are trying to hide something, an aspect that makes it really desirable for hidden communications or classified information leakage.
