ABSTRACT. This article describes the algorithmic features of the implementation of text steganography methods for hidden data transmission. An algorithm based on a modification of the color parameters of the text characters is presented. The least significant bit method is applied to the RGB color channels of text characters in a Microsoft Office Word file format with the .docx extension. Software implementation of algorithm has been developed. Software can embed / extract hidden information.
