Abstract :
Establishing hidden communication and conveying information secretly has been of interest since long past ago. One of the method introduce for establishing hidden communication is Steganography. Methods of Steganography have been mostly applied on image, audio, videos and text files while the major characteristics of these methods are to change in the structure and features so as not to be identifiable by human users. Text document are the best example for this. In this paper we produce a new approach for Hindi text Steganography, which uses letter and its diacritics and numerical code. This method is very useful in Hindi Text and in all other similar Indian Languages.

Key-Words / Index Term :
