UNICODE For Hiding Information In A Text Document

Steganography is a unique approach for developing tools and methods to hide the fact of transmitting a secret message. The first traces of steganographic methods are lost in ancient times. From detective works, various methods of secret writing between the lines of ordinary text are well known: from milk to complex chemical reagents with subsequent processing. Digital steganography is based on hiding or embedding additional information in digital objects, while causing some distortion of these objects. In this case, text, images, audio, video, network packets, and so on can be used as objects or containers. To embed a secret message, steganographic methods rely on redundant container information or properties that the human perception system cannot distinguish. Recently, there has been a lot of research in the field of hiding information in a text container, since text documents are used in many organizations. Based on this, here the MS Word document is considered as a data carrier, which has various parameters, changing these parameters can achieve data integration. In the same article, we present steganography using invisible Unicode characters of the Space type, but with different encoding. A combined approach for encoding Latin characters is proposed for the effectiveness of the method.
