Abstract

Recently, many fruitful results have been presented in text information hiding such as text format-based, text image-based method and so on. However, existing information hiding approaches so far have been very difficult to resist the detecting techniques in steganalysis based on statistical analysis. Based on the Chinese mathematical expression, an efficient method of coverless text information hiding is presented, which is a brand-new method for information hiding. The proposed algorithm directly generates a stego-vector from the hidden information at first. Then based on text big data, a normal text that includes the stego-vector will be retrieved, which means that the secret messages can be send to the receiver without any modification for the stego-text. Therefore, this method is robust for any current steganalysis algorithm, and it has a great value in theory and practical significance.
