Posted: 07/11/05

        Dr. Nasir Memon, Professor of Computer Science, was recently interviewed for a segment on NBC Nightly News about steganography, a field that deals with hiding information in images, audio, and other content. The segment aired on June 28 as part of the national news program and can be viewed here. (Prof. Memon's 15 seconds of fame start at about 2:00 in the video clip.) The U.S. National Security Agency has designated Poly as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Polytechnic is the first school in New York City to receive the designation. Dr. Memon, an expert in cyberspace security, is the director of the center, and a leading international authority of steganography.
