If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.
At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.
That’s what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.
The decoy container could be literally anything. Sure good steganography would be hidden in something that looks real, like a jpeg or a music file, because it gives it a reason for existing at a glance. That’s not to say it couldn’t be a blank plaintext file, it just might arouse more suspicions and be subjected to more scrutiny
No, that’s encoding. If you hid that message inside another message, that would be steganography.
It is a message hidden in a message. The hidden message is the binary password, and the container message is “[blank]”
