Abstract
This paper proposes a secret information transmission scheme for English texts by using the characteristics of invisible ASCII codes. The scheme incorporates two stages, the information hiding stage and the information extracting stage. The first stage takes the prepared carrier documents and the secret information need to be embedded as the input. Then, the information hiding procedure of the scheme will synthesize the carrier document and the secret information into a stego document. In the second stage, an extracting procedure will pick up the secret information when it receives the stego document that generated by the first stage. The scheme achieves hiding effects by processing the bland spaces in the English texts. The experimental results have shown that our information hiding scheme is feasible, reliable, safe and efficient.
