Reply to comment by slayemin in A group of researchers has achieved a breakthrough in secure communications by developing an algorithm that conceals sensitive information so effectively that it is impossible to detect that anything has been hidden by thebelsnickle1991

Stego is usefull in a very different way from crypto. With crypto shure i might not know what you are sending between yourselves, but i can know that you are sending stuff. Thus if i catch one of you doing a crime for example, i will be very very interested in investigating your crypto communication buddies, even tho i do not know the messages themselves. Stego aims to fix this by hiding the fact you ever comunicated in the first place. This type of security is ONLY achievable by obscurity.
