Formats: first of all .jpg, but really any image format that can bear signature data. Why are image files special? They aren't. For every type of structured file, one must consider the structure of the file type in order to insert a signature without disrupting the other content, to identify the content which should be covered by the signature, and to locate the signature data. -- Mark H.
