Cyber-crime and the United States criminal justice system: Cryptography and steganography as tools of terrorism
Journal of Security Administration, Vol.26(2), pp.51-75
12/2003
Abstract
The present research draws on the history of two distinct technologies - cryptography and steganography - and their utilization in contemporary cybercrimes, specifically, terrorist activities. These two technologies have been inadvertently mixed when discussed by criminal justice practitioners and academics alike, thereby causing a great deal of confusion. This article provides the reader with clear distinctions between the technologies in addition to their historical underpinnings. Moreover, a discussion encompassing preventative measures, policy implications, and related issues in prosecuting computer crimes is presented. The conclusions that follow, together with the lack of existing literature on the topic, and significant in that they suggest a need to conduct more research on these and related technologies and the potential legal issues that will be necessarily tied to them
