Abstract

We propose a new model of steganography based on a list of pseudo-randomly sorted sequences of characters. Given a list LL of mm columns containing nn distinct strings each, with low or no semantic relationship between columns taken two by two, and a secret message s{0,1}s \in \{0,1\}^*, our model embeds ss in LL block by block, by generating, for each column of LL, a permutation number and by reordering strings contained in it according to that number. Where, letting ll be average bit length of a string, the embedding capacity is given by [(m1)log2(n!1)/nl][(m-1)*log_2(n!-1)/n*l]. We've shown that optimal efficiency of the method can be obtained with the condition that (n>>l)(n >> l). The results which has been obtained by experiments, show that our model performs a better hiding process than some of the important existing methods, in terms of hiding capacity.
