Abstract EN
The process of hiding is considered to be one of the important security branches which are used to ensure the safe transfer of vital data and its protection against theft or editing.
Recently, the need for developed hiding methods have greatly increased as the programming technologies that are capable of detecting hidden data, which are hidden using conventional methods, have undergone a great leap in progress.
This paper aims to introduce a novel method of hiding a text inside an executable (exe) file.
This is considered one of the recent, more developed types.
The suggested system has been tested on two types of executable files.
The first type was written using (C++.exe) whereas the second was written using (VB.exe).
The text was hidden using the suggest method (Cover Region and Parity bits) through which the executable file will be segmented into (regions) afterwards, each group of values will be tested alongside the value of the secret message that needs to be hidden.
The suggested approach was applied on several texts and the result was that hiding via the executable files of the (VB) types is faster and it occupies less size than the (C++) type..
