Pseudo-space Persian/Arabic text steganography
Mohammad Shirali-Shahreza · 2008
In recent years by growing computer applications, new technologies are also invented. Meanwhile new issues are faced such as security. One of the security areas is hidden exchange of information which contains methods such as cryptography and steganography. Steganography is the art of hiding data in a cover media such as image or sound. In this paper a new method for Steganography in Persian and Arabic texts is presented. In this method pseudo-space character is used for hiding the data. This character prevents the Persian and Arabic letters from joining but without adding a space between the two and keeps the words closer together. Its code is 200C in Unicode hex notation. This character only used in some special words. If such word is found, we use pseudo-space for hiding bit 0 and use pseudo-space and normal space together for hiding bit 1.
