Abstract: | This paper discusses the process of secret communication known as steganography. The argument advanced here is that terrorists
are unlikely to be employing digital steganography to facilitate secret intra-group communication as has been claimed. This
is because terrorist use of digital steganography is both technically and operationally implausible. The position adopted
in this paper is that terrorists are likely to employ low-tech steganography such as semagrams and null ciphers instead.
