Ask HN: Encryption using normal English paragraphs?

1 points by ActorNightly 1y ago

I remember seeing a post about an encryption method where the encrypted text is composed of a paragraph that reads like normal english. Anyone know what Im referring to? I can't seem to find it anymore.

  Close, but this one was generating like real sounding paragraphs from a book instead of garbage english.

      The markov text one was exactly the one I was looking for. Thanks.

Doesn't ring a bell, but if you're searching around, "steganography" would be a good keyword to add.
