Information hiding terminology

Abstract

The common opinion among the participants of this workshop was that all the topics that Ross Anderson had chosen, such as steganography and fingerprinting, had indeed much in common, and that we all profited by learning about the treatment of these topics in usually quite different communities and from different points of view. To facilitate this, we decided to agree on some common terminology in the final session of the workshop. I have tried to collect the results of this session, and added a few additional proposals.
