If it is illegal to do Crypto Steganography won't realy help you. You can still get a House-Searching, and if illegal Software is found you are hossed. If you get realy observed and you send a lot of meaningless shakespear texts or images thepolice wont be so dump and try to find the cryptd messages in it. They simply record your voice/computer or look on your harddisk. I dont see realy good use for stegano here at all. It is much better to work on a politics level against those big brother law. That said, I beg your pardon for writing on a GPG Devel List about Politics and hope we wont continue the discussion about steganography here. To make my post somewhat On-Topic again: is anybody working/aware of a LGPG or equally free API Implementation? Currently I'm working on a Key Managemnt Module in Java for a commercial Product. Most likely I willi use Cryptix PGP. It will contain a Wizard to accept/sign new Keys. It will enforce the Operator to actually enter the fingerprint and then sign the Key if it matches. This should guide the User a bit more in beeing secure (I observed a few customers, thats why I think it is important to do it that way).
