Abstract
The concept of stealth - as it pertains to computers - shares a great deal with its real-world counterpart. In this article, we take a look at stealth from both a historical and a technological perspective. This is a hugely important topic, for if an unwanted computer program can´t be seen, it can´t be eliminated. In addition, software developers - especially security software developers - must have a solid understanding of what can be trusted in an environment - and what can´t. When it comes to deception, stealth is the state of the art
