“…But as explained before, digital steganography has its limitations in practice. Recently, a number of text steganographic techniques have been developed, which include whitespace insertion [4,5,6], punctuation insertions [7], article insertions [8], misspelling words [9], font color changes [10], lineshift and word-shift coding [11], dot-spacing [12], grammar-based cover generation such as the NICETEXT program [13], inserting synonyms [14], etc. Some other methods include sending a cheating index-file along with the stego text-file to help the receiver to reconstruct the message [15,16], but the problem with these approaches is that if the cheating file is intercepted, the attacker can decode the message.…”

Text steganography, the art of concealing a secret text inside another innocuous text called the cover, is usually performed by insertion of whitespace, punctuation marks, misspelling words, or by arbitrarily capitalizing words or inserting synonyms, changing font-sizes & colors, etc. All of these have the disadvantage that they either arouse suspicion or are easily noticeable; and even lost if manually copied, i.e. handwritten. Furthermore, they are easily detectable by automated checkers. Still there are other methods which require a stego-key in order to decrypt the message. In covert intelligence operations, transmission of the stego-key may not be possible at all, more so when the message is urgent. Digital communications and Internet connectivity may also be lacking in certain situations, and the only mode of message passing available may be the exchange of handwritten text on paper; which effectively rules out text modifications like font-changes, whitespace insertion, etc. or any form of digital steganography like image/audio steganography. Finally, in almost all textsteganographic techniques, there is no provision to for the receiver to detect whether or not there is indeed any message embedded. This is very important in intelligence operations where a number of decoy text need to be sent with only one concealing the actual message. In this paper, we propose a new tool called STEGASSIST that can help the sender in generating the stego-text manually. It is a low-tech form of steganography that is especially suited to covert operations like espionage or undercover journalism. In this method, the generated cover and the stego-text are identical, or in other words, there is no cover-text. Moreover, decryption does not require a stego-key, and the stego-text may be printed or even handwritten and sent via unreliable messengers, or published, without arousing any suspicion. Finally, the received stego-text can be checked by the receiver to detect whether or not there is any actual message embedded in it.

“…Steganografi pada media teks dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai cara bergantung pada jenis format teks. Beberapa cara yang dapat digunakan adalah menggunakan RSID, kompresi ZIP yang berbeda, menggunakan gambar berdimensi 0, menggunakan macro [9], dan menggunakan warna teks tak terlihat, seperti spasi [10].…”

Steganografi ada dikarenakan oleh adanya keperluan untuk menyembunyikan sebuah data di dalam data lain. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan alternatif lain dalam melakukan steganografi melalui media berkas dokumen teks Office Open XML. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tinjauan pustaka, dan membuat komponen aplikasi. Perancangan dilakukan menggunakan flowchart. Pengujian dilakukan dengan cara membandingkan hasil, dan uji ketahanan melalui perubahan jenis berkas, dan perubahan konten, dan nama berkas. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang didapat, steganografi yang dilakukan dengan cara menambah pengacakan posisi bit kode warna spasi tidak memengaruhi dokumen secara signifikan secara visual. Pesan dapat tahan konversi ke jenis berkas DOC, ODT, dan PDF, 93% tahan konversi ke jenis berkas RTF, dan tidak tahan konversi ke jenis berkas TXT, dan dapat tahan perubahan konten, asalkan urutan berkas tetap ada, dan spasi tidak diganggu

“…However, a few text steganography methods are applied to other languages [8]. Only a few researches have been conducted on information hiding in Arabic texts [9]. Therefore, the focus of this study will concentrate on Arabic text steganography and its method developed by researchers.…”

The enormous development in the utilization of the Internet has driven by a continuous improvement in the region of security. The enhancement of the security embedded techniques is applied to save the intellectual property. There are numerous types of security mechanisms. Steganography is the art and science of concealing secret information inside a cover media such as image, audio, video and text, without drawing any suspicion to the eavesdropper. The text is ideal for steganography due to its ubiquity. There are many steganography embedded techniques used Arabic language to embed the hidden message in the cover text. Kashida, Shifting Point and Sharp-edges are the three Arabic steganography embedded techniques with high capacity. However, these three techniques have lack of performance to embed the hidden message into the cover text. This paper present about traid-bit method by integrating these three Arabic text steganography embedded techniques. It is an effective way to evaluate many embedded techniques at the same time, and introduced one solution for various cases.
