This privacy utility demonstrates a new way of communicating securely. Want to communicate securely, but don't want to send large files of strange-looking numbers? Want to use strong crypto, but know that your email is not secure enough? Stego works like invisible ink for Internet communication. Stego can hide an encrypted text file in a GIF format image file - which is the most commonly used image format on the World Wide Web. The resulting GIF can be attached to an email message or posted on a web page.
