Chaffing and Winnowing: Confidentiality without Encryption Ronald L. Rivest MIT Lab for Computer Science March 18, 1998 (rev. July 1, 1998) http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/chaffing.txt A major goal of security techniques is ``confidentiality''---ensuring that adversaries gain no intelligence from a transmitted message.
There are two major techniques for achieving confidentiality: -- Steganography: the art of hiding a secret message within a larger one in such a way that the adversary can not discern the presence or contents of the hidden message.
She might pre-process the message using an ``all-or-nothing'' or ``package transform'' (Rivest 1997)---this is a keyless (non-encryption) transform that takes the message and produces a ``packaged message'' with the property that the recipient (Bob) can't produce the original message unless he has received the entire packaged message.
