Abstract—Web pages are used popularly and frequently today because the message in the pages can be fast spreading all over the world in real-time. A kind of new approach is constructed for the webpage information hiding. The hiding data is composed of the length of secret, the checksum and the secret data. The secret message is required for modification using forward transform technology before hiding. A kind of grouping 5-bit scheme and algorithm are proposed to convert the hiding data into some invisible characters. It can hide 10 bits in each end tag of page line. In the extracting process, the message is recomposed as the coupling relationship. The hiding process and algorithms are stated in detail. The experiments are implemented with some well-known homepages of portal websites. The results show that the new approach can not only keep the hiding effects, but also increase the hiding capacity largely. It will be suitable for large-scale message transmission through the Internet.
