Abstract

Steganography has been studied extensively in the light of information, complexity, probability and signal processing theory. This paper adds epistemology to the list and argues that Simmon's seminal prisoner's problem has an empirical dimension, which cannot be ignored (or defined away) without simplifying the problem substantially. An introduction to the epistemological perspective on steganography is given along with a structured discussion on how the novel perspective fits into the existing body of literature.
