2.2 Encryption and White Noise
Hiding information is a tricky business. Although the rest of this
topic will revolve around camouflaging information by actually mak-
ing the bits look like something else, it is a good idea to begin with
examining basic encryption.
Standard encryption functions like AES or RSA hide data by mak-
ing it incomprehensible. They take information and convert it into
total randomness or white noise. This effect might not be a good
way to divert attention from a file, but it is still an important tool.
