This paper presents a novel technique to embed messages into textures synthesized from tiles with boundary constraints. The messages are encoded in the choices that the synthesis algorithm normally makes at random during the synthesis process. Images embedding messages are not distinguishable from images that are not embedding any message. The random sequence seed used during synthesis can act as a password.
