Suppose you take your plaintext, encrypt it,
then spread the bits across an image as the LSBs.
The LSBs will, if you've used a decent cipher,
have perfectly uniform distribution.
The 'noise' LSBs in a chunk of *digitized* bits will show
a *uniform* distribution. (As indeed will the cipher's blocks,
or any bitchunk larger or smaller.)
Therefore an entropy test (see Maurer) will discriminate
between the two.
Please prove me wrong.
