A Novel Approach of Text Steganography using Nonlinear Character Positions (NCP)

Usually, the steganographic algorithms employ images, audio, video or text files as the medium to ensure hidden exchange of information between multiple contenders and to protect the data from the prying eyes. This paper presents a survey of text steganography method used for hiding secret information inside some cover text. Here the text steganography algorithms based on modification of font format, font style et cetera, has advantages of great capacity, good imperceptibility and wide application range. The nonlinear character positions of different pages are targeted through out the cover with insignificant modification. As compared to other methods, we believe that the approaches proposed convey superior randomness and thus support higher security.
