ABSTRACT

Unlike previous methodologies, this chapter presents a novel linguistic steganography methodology based on the Nostega paradigm, namely an Education-Centric Steganography (Edustega) Methodology [22]. Since the use of educational documents is widely popular within both academic and nonacademic communities, Edustega exploits such documents to conceal data. Because Edustega is based on the Nostega paradigm, it neither hides data in a noise (errors) nor produces noise. Instead, it camouflages the data primarily by manipulating questions and answers of exams (e.g., multiple-choice, true-or-false, fill-in-theblank, or matching), examples, and puzzles.
