A security administrator discovers an image file that has several plain text documents hidden in
the file. Which of the following security goals is met by camouflaging data inside of other files?
A.
Integrity
B.
Confidentiality
C.
Steganography
D.
Availability
Explanation:
Steganography is the process of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file,
message, image, or video.
Note: The advantage of steganography over cryptography alone is that the intended secret
message does not attract attention to itself as an object of scrutiny. Plainly visible encrypted
messages, no matter how unbreakable will arouse interest, and may in themselves beincriminating in countries where encryption is illegal. Thus, whereas cryptography is the practice of
protecting the contents of a message alone, steganography is concerned with concealing the fact
that a secret message is being sent, as well as concealing the contents of the message.
Admin Please check the answer. the ans should be B. In the question above they are asking for the security goal for concealing the information not the process. The process is stenography and the goal to be achieved the concealing, hiding, the information from unauthorized individual which is confidentiality.

Am also of the opinion that CONFIDENTIALITY is the set goal, since the question isn’t asking of the process or whats achieved.
