Encryption of Covert Information Through a Fisher Game

  • Chapter
Exploratory Data Analysis Using Fisher Information

Abstract

Securing covert information has immense ramifications in a variety of strategi-cally important disciplines. A novel and promising method for encrypting covert information in a host distribution is presented here. This is based upon the use of Fisher information, in particular its quantum mechanical connotations. This use of Fisher information nicely supplements its use in other chapters of the book, where it is shown how Fisher information can be used to discover scientific knowledge. Here we show how to use Fisher information to secure that knowledge.
