A Novel Text Steganography Technique Based on Html Documents

The internet has grown rapidly in recent years. This growth has increased the demand for techniques that can ensure information security. In this paper, we propose a text steganography technique that uses html documents as the cover medium to hide secret messages. The use of html documents has a benefit that the existence of a secret message will not be suspicious as html documents are fundamental elements of the web and are used very commonly on the internet. We have implemented our technique using C#.net technology. The technique proposed by us also integrates cryptography with steganography by first encrypting the secret message and then hiding the encrypted secret message in html cover medium. The integration of cryptography with steganography provides an extra layer of security that ensures the safe and secure delivery of message to the intended recipient.
