Prerequisites for

Information Hiding: Steganography and Watermarking - Attacks and Countermeasures (Advances in Information Security, Volume 1)
Johnson, Neil F. / Duric, Zoran / Jajodia, Sushil G. 2001. 160 pages.
Categories: Cryptanalysis, Mathematics, Steganography
Gets a thumbs up even though it is expensive for size (137 pages), and its choice of stego tools were out of date even when the book was published. However, it redeems itself with its gentle introduction to stego and its analysis of signatures left by particular stego tools (steganalysis). Very few books deal with steganalysis, and information on this topic has been traditionally hard to find (no thanks to Fravia hiding all the juicy details).
