New method for secret message embedding in alphabetical menu
Abstract
In this article, we present a new method of steganography which allows you to embed hidden messages in the alphabetical menu. The main idea of this method consists in modification earlier known methods of automatic construction of a hierarchical menu. Here the modification implies changing the menu tree by transferring boundary elements from one submenu to another one in accordance with the hidden message. In the course of the experimental analysis it was shown that the average height of the menu tree increased by less than one. This steganography method can be used for embedding digital fingerprints or watermarks in the hierarchy of items having an alphabetical order.
