Text steganography through Indian languages using feature coding method

Steganography is the method to hide a message inside another message without drawing any suspicion to the others and that the message can only be detected by its intended recipient. With the other steganography methods such as Image, Audio, Video, a number of text steganography algorithms have been introduced. This paper presents a new approach for steganography in Indian Languages. Considering the availability of more feature code able characters and flexible grammar structure of Indian Languages this approach is able to hide a secret message in the text. The text, after replacing feature code able characters with the transformed versions, can be used as cover media. Similarly by applying a reverse method to the cover file, we show how easily the secret message can be recovered by the intended receiver.
