A PERSPECTIVE ON TEXT HIDING METHODS

Abstract

Steganography is the art of hiding data within another data. Is a useful technique for hiding data such as image, audio, text etc behind cover files? There are exists various techniques for text Steganography, and all of them have their own respective strong and weak points. For each text Steganography used, they have different requirements and rules on how they applied. Many Text Steganography techniques are proposed, all of them have something in common that was to increase embedding rate of the secret data within the cover files and to rises suspicion as little as possible from an unintended observer. Steganography is a promising technique as a supplement to Cryptography, because the chiper text will certainly raise suspicion because it forms, and there is where Steganography comes in to hide those encrypted message to some cover files thus reducing risk the secret message get revealed. This paper provides a general overview and a brief idea of Text Steganography techniques.
