Abstract

Steganography gained importance in the past few years due to the increasing need for providing secrecy in an open environment like the internet. With almost anyone can observe the communicated data all around, steganography attempts to hide the very existence of the message and make communication undetectable. Steganography has many technical challenges such as high hiding capacity and imperceptibility. In this paper, we try to evolve an algorithm on text steganography using the combination of line shifting and word shifting methods with copy protection technique with high capacity of the cover object. Word shift embeds secret information in text by shifting words slightly. Line shift embeds secret information in text by shifting text lines slightly. Our method hides the secret information in binary form rather than the original character form by using the above methods. This method has a good hiding capacity because it hides more than one bit in each line of cover text. Also this method does not make any apparent changes in the original text.
