Explanation

Open code steganography hides a secret message within an ordinary-looking cover message or document using a prearranged pattern or rule that only the intended recipient knows (e.g., using the first letter of every word, every nth word, or a specific positional pattern). The document appears normal to the average reader but contains a hidden message in a structured pattern. This differs from visual semagrams (hiding in images/objects), text semagrams (altering physical text appearance like font or spacing), and technical steganography (using physical/chemical methods like invisible ink).
