A Unique Method for Concealing Information
Main Article Content
Abstract
The subject of steganography is the means and methods that ensure the concealment of the fact of message transmission. The historical roots of this discipline are very deep. With the development of technology, the methods have also changed. If previously invisible ink was used between the lines of ordinary text, then modern digital steganography consists of embedding data in digital objects with minimal distortion. This is possible due to the use of the redundancy of the container data or the peculiarities of human perception, which is unable to notice these changes. In light of the widespread use of text documents in organizational activities, methods of hiding data in a text container, in particular, in MS Word documents, are becoming especially relevant. Based on this, an MS Word document is considered as an information carrier here. MS Word documents have different parameters, by changing these parameters or properties, it is possible to achieve data embedding. In this article, we present steganography using invisible Unicode characters of the Space type, but with different encoding. /2
