Espionage - Undetectable with new cryptology idea

My name is Markis Gardner and I currently live in China. 3 years ago
I moved to China due to a terrible tragedy in my life. At that time I
was studying under a marvelous professor, Dr. Pan at Georgia State
University. I had high hopes to finally get a PhD (I failed to get a
PhD in Mathematics at the University of Kentucky due to an extreme
memory disorder I have) but thanks to Dr. Pan he said as long as I
could research (I can definitely do that) and publish papers (I am
trying to do that) he saw no reason why I could not get a PhD in
Computer Science. Unfortunately I was a few classes away from a
Masters in Computer Science (I was going part-time to pay the bills)
when I left to go live in China. Unfortunately I do not have the
money needed to continue my Masters and hopefully PhD in Computer
Science - out-of-state tuition is beyond my means. But, I never
wanted to give up my dream of publishing papers. I helped another
professor (who no longer works there) publish one paper and I have
been reading LOTS of papers trying to get ideas on what to write a
paper on. Since I do not work with a professor now, I have to come up
with topics on my own. Finally I came upon an idea after reading a
paper that used my knowledge of Math, Computers and a simple idea from
Chemistry (believe it or not) that gave me a brilliant but an also
frightening idea if it was used the wrong way.

I have always been a fan of the television series "Pretender", a guy,
Jerod, who can become anyone and he finds out his ideas (simulations)
are being used the wrong way. Unfortunately for me, my idea really
only has one purpose, espionage. Why else would anyone want to hide a
message or picture inside of another picture. My idea really would
make the espionage undetectable. I have read many other ideas about
hiding messages but nothing to the effect that I thought up. I was
hoping to publish these 2 papers (one talking about hiding messages
and the other about hiding pictures) and get enough recognition that I
might be able to finish my Master's and PhD, however, I am afraid that
with my idea it would make espionage child's play. I don't want to do
anything that would harm national security.

So, what would you do if you were in my shoes? If you knew 100% that
your "idea" would make it impossible for even the best computers and
cryptographers to spot this "new" espionage. I want to publish and
get recognition but I also don't want to cause America or any other
country harm. I really am looking for advice here as I do not know
how to proceed. Since I am writing these papers on my own, it will
take a long time for me to write, since I work and need to polish my
English, (wish I was still in the University and get help) so I am
hoping to get some guidance from you all. Even if I don't publish
these due to National Security at least I will gain the "experience"
necessary in writing papers on my own. That in itself will be worth
the time it will take for me to write these 2 papers.

Of course, people might think well, if you have an idea that would
hide the espionage then they could discover it using advanced
computers. That is where the idea from Chemistry comes in (I don't
want to say what that idea is, as it is the heart of this idea) but it
would completely hide the espionage.

Thanks,

Markis
