In this modern era, the importance of information security has gained a special importance. Steganography is the art and science of invisible communication. This is accomplished through hiding information in other information, thus hiding the existence of the communicated information. Steganography techniques can be applied to text file,HTML file,XML file, images, a video file or an audio file. This paper intends to give an overview of web steganography techniques.It proposes a new idea to hide information in web pages which includes using ROT-N algorithm and thereby, acquiring the extra security. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high security than other existing methods. The suggested method is implemented by using Java language.
