The information technology era or the third industrial revolution began around the 1960s; has changed the ways we live, work, and play; and brought substantial challenges that include loss of privacy, fake news, digital divides, and significant information security risks. With billions of connections and systems, security vulnerabilities are abundant including the opportunity for criminals to exploit any gaps that present themselves. Eventually, we'll need a groundbreaking technology to gain the upper hand against these threats. Protecting data, systems, and networks assumed a more specific term: cybersecurity. The goal of cybersecurity today is to protect information while it's at rest and in motion. One of the most interesting ways to deliver hidden information is through steganographic technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
