Yep, the detectability of steganography tends to increase with information density, of course. If somebody is watching GPS traffic they could discover my (hastily conceived) location-beacon scheme, for instance. Likewise, a metadata scheme (varying time between broadcasts) could be discovered through close enough examination. But, that at least has some plausible deniability baked in, random delays are better than fixed delays in terms of network congestion.
- flavius29663 4y agoThat was my point, there is no plausible deniability. Your cleaned-up data just happens to be the png image of some secret US bases? Good luck convincing a judge it's not intentional. If you encrypt it well enough, it might be that NSA never discover the underlying data, but that hinges on protecting the emitting source. If they get their hands on it, they can recover the keys.
