A mimic function changes a file so it assumes the statistical properties of another file . That is, if is the probability of some substring occurring in , then a mimic function , recodes so that approximates for all strings of length less than some . It is commonly considered to be one of the basic techniques for hiding information, often called steganography. The simplest mimic functions use simple statistical models to pick the symbols in the output. If the statistical model says that item occurs with probability and item occurs with probability , then a random number is used to choose between outputting or with probability or respectively. More sophisticated mimic functions use grammar-based models of to structure the output. One example, ("SpamMimic" ), uses a context free grammar to model the structure of a typical spam email message. It will convert the input file A to read like a spam message. Even more sophisticated models use reversible Turing machines. ==References== * Peter Wayner. ("Mimic Functions" ) * Peter Wayner.
