4.3.3. Steganography<br />
Steganography is a very creative area of secret communication that strives to hide<br />
a message inside an innocuous piece of data in another medium. To demonstrate<br />
the versatility of the <strong>Glitch</strong>-alike in a practical application, I came up with the idea<br />
of using video surveillance camera footage (that is abundantly available) as the<br />
host medium and analogue video glitches (tracking errors, colour distortion and<br />
flicker) as the message signifier.<br />
By means of a custom software or video plug-in, data could be encoded and<br />
overlaid as <strong>Glitch</strong>-alikes on pre-recorded surveillance footage, while remaining<br />
undetectable and thought of as real glitches.<br />
This video footage interspersed with the secret encoded message, can later be<br />
detected and decoded using another program.<br />
