Abstract: All large programs and software development projects, irrespective of application, generate a large amount of associated documentation. Documentation is an important part of all types of programs and software. It tells other programmers what the program does and how it works. Documentation helps others and teammates understand your work. In this proposed work, I have designed a method which hides important and secret data into the programs and software document parts with three layers of security. The resultant stego file undoubtedly can be transmitted anywhere using any channel. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed methodology.

Keywords: steganography; program files; encryption; language; secret keys; cryptography; software documentation; document security; data hiding.
