Abstract

Abstract: This paper sorts out the development context of text steganography and steganalysis, and divides text steganography algorithms into two categories:modified text steganography and generative text steganography. The implementation process of the two types of algorithms is summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of mainstream algorithms are analyzed from the aspects of rate-distortion performance and safety. Aiming at the two types of text steganography algorithms, the realization process of the corresponding steganalysis algorithms is summarized, and the development trend of text steganography and steganalysis is prospected.

Key words: network security, information hiding, text steganography, text steganalysis, deep learning
