Steganography vs Encryption: What is the Difference?
Understand the core differences between hiding a message (steganography) and scrambling a message (encryption) to protect your private communications.
Encryption scrambles the message content
Encryption uses mathematical algorithms to transform readable data into an unreadable format (ciphertext). While the message is secure, the fact that a secret message exists is obvious to anyone who sees the ciphertext.
Steganography hides the existence of the message
Steganography embeds secret data within a non-secret file, such as an image or audio track. To an observer, the file appears normal, and the existence of the hidden communication is concealed.
