Two high capacity text steganography schemes based on color coding

Cryptography and Security 2020-06-24 v3

Abstract

Text steganography is a mechanism of hiding secret text message inside another text as a covering message. In this paper, we propose a text steganographic scheme based on color coding. This include two different methods: the first based on permutation, and the second based on numeration systems. Given a secret message and a cover text, the proposed schemes embed the secret message in the cover text by making it colored. The stego-text is then sent to the receiver by mail. After experiments, the results obtained show that our models performs a better hiding process in terms of hiding capacity as compared to the scheme of Aruna Malik et al. in which our idea is based.
