Abstract:

Data in cyber-space can be classified into three categories: data for describing objective world, data for recording human behaviors and data for describing virtual world. While current steganographic techniques mainly use the first class of data for hiding secret information, this paper surveys new steganographic techniques using the latter two categories of data as the camouflage, including semi-creative steganography, creative steganography and behavior steganography. Basic concepts and representative methods of the new types of steganography are described. With the development of information and network technology, the new paradigm of digital steganography deserves intensive studies in the future.

Key words: information hiding, creative steganography, steganography, semi-creative steganography, behavior steganography
