Experimenting with the Novel Approaches in Text Steganography
As is commonly known, the steganographic algorithms employ images, audio,
video or text files as the medium to ensure hidden exchange of information
between multiple contenders to protect the data from the prying eyes. However,
using text as the target medium is relatively difficult as compared to the
other target media, because of the lack of available redundant information in a
text file. In this paper, in the backdrop of the limitations in the prevalent
text based steganographic approaches, we propose simple, yet novel approaches
that overcome the same. Our approaches are based on combining the random
character sequence and feature coding methods to hide a character. We also
analytically evaluate the approaches based on metrics viz. hiding strength,
time overhead and memory overhead entailed. As compared to other methods, we
believe the approaches proposed impart increased randomness and thus aid higher
security at lower overhead.Comment: 13 page
