Umm, Andrew: could you tell your mailer not to prefix every paragraph
with this [your name] thing? Thank you.

Hmm. Don't most crypto algorithms just look like random bits when you
don't have the key?

Therefore, a stego algorithm which replaces the lower bit of a noisy
audio or video file should be perfectly safe, assuming (a) that lower
bit is truly random, and (b) nobody can get at the original image.

(b) is not always easy, but essentially a solved problem. (a) isn't
quite that simple, but IMHO still much further along than early crypto.
