Early neural approaches

Generating Steganographic Text with LSTMs

Tina Fang, Martin Jaggi, Katerina Argyraki

First arXiv submission: · ACL 2017 Student Research Workshop

Published version: July 2017. The publication and preprint records below retain their own dates and identifiers.

Uses an LSTM language model and vocabulary bins to generate text carrying a secret bitstream. Experiments on tweets and email explore the trade-off between embedding capacity and text quality.

Relationship to Neural Linguistic Steganography

The 2019 Neural Linguistic Steganography paper cites this earlier neural method and reimplements its block-based encoding with GPT-2 as a baseline.

Scope and limitations

The paper leaves formal evaluation against human judges and steganalysis methods to future work; its qualitative examples alone do not establish statistical undetectability.
