Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...
