In cryptography cryptography, "stegotext" is the analog of encrypt encrypted text (eg, cyphertext cyphertext).
The stegotext in this case was the doll orders; the 'plaintext' being concealed was itself a codetext codetext giving information about ship movements, etc. Her case became somewhat famous and she became known as the Doll Woman.
In this case the stegotext is the image, innocuous on a cursory inspection — a pet pet, for instance, or a landscape.

 A CLASS OF STEGANOGRAPHIC PROTOCOLS
The sender must be able to vary certain parameters of the stegotext such as the message to random data ratio.
The stegotext is then shifted by one bit to regain alignment and the comparison is continued to find the next bit.
The message is easily extracted by comparing the random data with the stegotext and noting where a bit is different plus its value.

If the emcrypted message is transmitted over some shared medium (eg, the Internet, in smoke skignals or via drums) or an eavesdroppable medium (eg, the tradtional telephone system), a third party can easily see that there is some data being transferred, and can most likely determine that it is encrypted.
Using steganography the cyphertext (called stegotext) appears to be some harmless data, for example a photograph.
The message is encoded into the image (in, say, the least significant bit of the data for each pixel in the image) and is not obviously visible.

 Steganography
Generally a steganographic message will appear to be something else, like a shopping list, an article, a picture, or some other "cover" message.
Steganographic messages are typically first encrypted by some traditional means, and then a covertext is modified in some way to contain the encrypted message, resulting in stegotext.
For example, the letter size, spacing, typeface, or other characteristics of a covertext can be manipulated to carry the hidden message; only the recipient (who must know the technique used) can recover the message and then decrypt it.

 [extropy-chat] codes in scam letters
Such misspellings may be a weakness and indicate hand encryption and poor stegotext.
The use of screens would be possible (assuming your destination printer formatted the letter to the same scale, margins, etc) or simply a key the receiver got when in training (sequence of numbers indicating space between cipertext letters in stegotext) would be more reliable.
Such a key could simply be the receivers name in ascii values, for easy remembering, leaving the burden on the enemy to know the receivers name (leaving the possibility of brute forcing with a database of all possible names).

 CiteULike: On causal and semicausal codes for joint information embedding and source coding
A source of random message bits is to be embedded into a covertext modeled as a discrete memoryless source (DMS), resulting in a stegotext from which the embedded bits should be recoverable.
A causal code for such a scenario consists of an encoder that generates the stegotext as a causal function of the message bits and the covertext, and a decoder that reproduces the message bits as a causal function of the stegotext.
We analyze the possible tradeoffs among: a) the distortion between the stegotext and the covertext, b) the compressibility of the stegotext, and c) the rate at which random bits are embedded, that are achievable with causal and semicausal codes, with and without attacks on the stegotext.

 Steganography: Using Covert Channels in the Information Age   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The use of a stego key is desirable for two reasons; the first being that it may make hidden data statistically harder to detect, and the second being that the stego key frustrates unauthorized attempts to obtain the hidden message from the container.
The stego medium, or stegotext, is simply the container with the hidden message embedded within it.
It is worth mentioning that the more data one attempts to squeeze in this channel, the more degraded the resulting stegotext will sound when compared to the original container.

The relative entropy between covertext and stegotext determines the steganalyzer's difficulty in discriminating them, which in turn defines the detectability of the stegosystem.

We derive a lower bound on the relative entropy between covertext and stegotext for block-based embedding functions.

Essentially they show that by randomly setting the values of some of the stegotext to zero with a probability = 'p' that does not cause them to exceed the avg.

 Copy Detection, Message Hiding and DRM
A more sophisticated solution to the copy detection problem is known as steganography which means the art of hiding secret information, known as stegotext, inside other information or covertext.
In many cases the stegotext will be encrypted, making this more difficult to detect.
The canary trap is a name given to a technique enabling someone creating and distributing a number of slightly different versions of an information package to identify the party responsible for unauthorised disclosure or copying of it.

 Encryption detection   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because encrypted data is easy to detect, people have tried to conceal when communication is taking place by hiding the existence of the message or data.
A steganographic message is often first encrypted and then a "covertext," such as a picture or document, is modified in some way to include the encrypted message, resulting in stegotext.
Nowadays, a popular steganographic method buries data in the mass of pixels in digital video and audio images.

Especially timely are the many words related to terrorism, including "distance terrorism," "terror entrepreneurs," and "stegotext" -- the practice of hiding terrorist messages in otherwise harmless Web sites.
In fact, Popcorn and Hanft note in their book that terrorists today are "striving for a new level of destructiveness." However, the authors' foresight is not limited to terrorism and other vices.

 limits of watermarking (Re: First Steganographic Image in the Wild)
So I presume your discussion on the applicability of stego techniques to the detection of unauthorised copying refers to the framework where content is personalised by having something identifying the purchaser encoded in it at time of delivery to the purchaser.
Steganography means hiding the existance of a message -- making it hard to distinguish content without a stegotext from content with a stegotext embedded in it.
Copymarks are about making it hard for the user to remove the message without massively degrading the quality (*).
