Ross and Janine were discussing a magazine article about codes, ciphers, and steganography, which their teacher gave as a reading assignment. The article described steganography as the practice of embedding secret messages in other messages, pictures, or music, etc. Janine asked Ross to explain the word embedded to her. Here is the conversation they had: Ross: Steganography is cool! Janine (rolling her eyes): I've heard the word embedded used to describe reporters being put with the troops overseas, but what does it mean here?Ross: It means the message is inserted into a bigger message. Janine: But how does that make the message hard to see? You can see the embedded reporters with the troops on TV. Ross: The writing or picture is too small to see, so it can be hidden. These messages aren't big like a person. That's why someone who needs to read the information has to use special tools to be able to see the secret message. Janine: Oh, I understand. What did Ross say that helped Janine finally understand what embedded meant with regard to steganography?
