Wikipedia

  1. Microdot

    A microdot is text or an image substantially reduced in size to prevent detection by unintended recipients. Microdots are normally circular and around 1 millimetre (0.039 in) in diameter but can be made into different shapes and sizes and made from various materials such as polyester or metal. The name comes from the fact that the microdots have often been about the size and shape of a typographical dot, such as a period or the tittle of a lowercase i or j. Microdots are, fundamentally, a steganographic approach to message protection.

  1. microdot

    A microdot is a tiny disc used in espionage or secret communications, generally to conceal text, image or other information. Its size ranges from about a point of a pin to a small freckle and can be embedded or hidden within a document, piece of clothing, or other material, making it difficult to find or detect without specific knowledge or equipment. Information is normally reduced in size and then printed or photographed onto the microdot. It was widely used during World War II but has since been largely replaced with digital technology.
