Using Kashida to hide bits in Arabic text is one of the most promising approaches in steganography. Unfortunately,...

This paper exploits the existence of the redundant Arabic extension character, i.e. Kashida. We propose to use pointed letters in Arabic text with a Kashida to hold the secret bit ‘one’ and the un-pointed letters with a Kashida to hold ‘zero’. The method can be classified under secrecy feature coding methods where it hides secret information bits within the letters benefiting from their inherit...

Steganography is a method of hiding data within a cover media so that other individuals fail to realize their existence. In this paper, a new approach for steganography in Arabic texts is proposed. The main idea is that each Arabic word may have some characters which can be extended by 'Kashida'. The ranks 'locations' of such characters and the inserted Kashida, construct a coding method to rep...

Existing steganography methods are still lacking in terms of capacity. Hence, a new steganography method for Arabic text is proposed. The method hides secret information bits within Arabic letters using two features, which are the moon and sun letters and the redundant Arabic extension character “-” known as Kashida. The Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters, which are classified into 14 sun lett...

The main goal of this contribution is to present a program that allows the composition of variablesized curved symbols such as those occurring in mathematics. This application, called CurExt, extends the capabilities of the well-known TEX system designed by D. E. Knuth for typesetting. Big delimiters, such as brackets, or special curved symbols, such as the Arabic mathematical summation symbol,...

Steganography is the ability to hide secret information in a cover-media such as sound, pictures and text. A new approach is proposed to hide a secret into Arabic text cover media using "Kashida", an Arabic extension character. The proposed approach is an attempt to maximize the use of "Kashida" to hide more information in Arabic text cover-media. To approach this, some algorithms have been des...

The most sensitive Arabic text available online is the digital Holy Quran. This sacred Islamic religious book recited by all Muslims worldwide including non-Arabs as part of their worship needs. Thus, it should be protected from any kind tampering to keep its invaluable meaning intact. Different characteristics letters like vowels (), Kashida (extended letters), and other symbols in Quran must ...

The using of the internet with its technologies and applications have been increased rapidly. So, protecting the text from illegal use is too needed . Text watermarking is used for this purpose. Arabic text has many characteristics such existing of diacritics , kashida (extension character) and points above or under its letters .Each of Arabic letters can take different shapes with different Un...
