New STEALTH steganography scheme robust to hardware and software variations

A new steganography scheme called STEALTH has been developed to hide messages within text generated by language models, overcoming limitations of previous methods. Existing techniques often fail when the receiver's hardware or software precision differs from the sender's, leading to decoding errors. STEALTH uses a novel approach involving keyed pseudorandom noise and a rateless spinal code decoded by beam search, making it robust against these variations and capable of transmitting more data per token.

    STEALTH: Steganographic Text Encoding Agnostic to Low-Level Tensor Hardware

    arXiv:2611.16928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Provably secure linguistic steganography hides a message inside text sampled from a language model, so that without the key, a stegotext is computationally indistinguishable from an honest model sample. Nearly every such scheme as…
