Abstract

This paper presents a novel Education-Centric Steganography Methodology (Edustega) that takes advantages of such text to conceal data. Edustega is based on Nostega paradigm, which implies that it neither hides data in a noise (errors) nor produces noise. Such materials, e.g., questions, answers, exams, examples, puzzles, competitions, etc., have an adequate room for concealing data where the observed bitrate by the experimental results of the current implementation is superior to all contemporary linguistic steganography approaches. Edustega can be applied to all languages. The presented implementation, validation, and experimental results confirmed that Edustega methodology is capable of achieving the steganographical goal.
