Synopsis

Struggling to find respite from depression after the loss of his wife, Jason Angle throws himself into helping accelerate the invention of the first quantum communication system. But his project--the company's highest priority--becomes stalled in a conspicuous turn of events. To continue the work would threaten the plans of an ambitious Vice President, who places Jason in the middle of her board game. Dejected and uncertain, Jason realizes that the only way to save the project and to help himself move on is to continue the work in secret. Unless he finds motivation soon, he'll lose his job, his confidence, and the chance to lead the future of all communication.

Steganography

Entangled's hero, Jason Angle, uses steganography to keep his company's project from being stolen. It's a way of secreting information that's thousands of years old. More description is in the link below.

It's a story about how the gang of Russian spies, recently outed by the U.S., have used steganography on public websites to communicate with each other and home base. Incredulously, back in 2005, this method was discovered when a password was left on a piece of paper. Anyone remember War Games and how the kid changed his grades? Right, he saw the password to the school's computers left on a piece of paper. Didn't these spies watch that movie? Hopefully, you don't write your passwords anywhere.
