Fairmont, W.Va., August 1, 2011 – Backbone Security is pleased to announce the release of Version 3.10 of the Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB) which now contains 960 steganography applications.
Backbone Security is pleased to announce
the release of Version 3.10
of the Steganography Application Fingerprint Database (SAFDB) which now contains
960 steganography applications.
Developed in Backbone’s
Steganography Analysis and Research Center (SARC), SAFDB is the world’s largest
commercially available hash set exclusive to digital steganography
applications.
The database is widely used by US and international government
and law enforcement agencies, the
intelligence community, and private
sector digital forensic examiners and network security professionals to detect
digital steganography applications on seized digital media or within inbound and
outbound network traffic streams.
Discovery of a steganography application during a digital
forensics examination is a strong indication the application has been, or will be,
used to conceal evidence of criminal activity. Detecting a steganography
application in the inbound network traffic stream is a strong indication an
insider will use the application to steal sensitive information.
SAFDB
is an integral part of the Steganography Analyzer Artifact Scanner (StegAlyzerAS),
a digital forensics application, and the Steganography Analyzer Real-Time
Scanner (StegAlyzerRTS), a network security appliance that detects the presence
or use of steganography in the inbound and outbound network traffic stream in
real-time.
Existing
customers may download an updated version of StegAlyzerAS and StegAlyzerRTS that
contains SAFDB v3.10 by logging into their account on the SARC Customer Portal
at http://www.sarc-wv.com/customer_portal/.

steganography applications.
