If it's widely known that someone can hide a secret message in a particular way, say, in the lower-order bits of an image, then strangers already know to look in that place for messages -- strangers including the folks that you don't want to read your messages.

Be clever and subtle and original. Find a new way to hide the information that no one has ever used before. If no one has thought of it before, they aren't very likely to think of it now, either.

I'm sure you know about encryption, but what about steganography?

Steganography is like encryption's subversive little sister. Encryption announces up front, "I have a secret! I bet you can't get to it!" Steganography's jacket has the secret emblazoned on it in a way that only those "in the know" will recognize, as she looks you in the eye and says, "What secret? What are you talking about?"

Steganography is the people's encryption. Instead of relying on fancy, hard math problems to keep a secret, it works by hiding something in plain sight and convincing you there's nothing to even look for. It's the sort of thing two friends can cook up together in an afternoon to pass secret messages and foil the man. The more special purpose and obscure, the better.

And yes, you can use steganography and encryption together.
