• Abstract: Linguistic steganography enables covert communication through natural language. Existing methods heavily rely on token-level operations and struggle to maintain reliability under word- and sentence-level textual perturbations. Moreover, variable-length coding-based schemes are highly susceptible to bit-slippage under minor disturbances, as perturbations cause desynchronization between embedded and extracted bit sequences. To address these issues, we propose a robust coverless steganographic framework that operates in the sentence embedding space rather than the token space. Specifically, secret messages are encoded as hierarchical clustering paths in the sentence embedding space, which enhances decoding stability against word- and sentence-level textual perturbations. To tackle the bit-slippage problem, we introduce a Global Resynchronization Mechanism (GRM) that reframes variable-length bitstreams as discrete symbols anchored to semantic subspaces, decoupling local embedding failures from global message recovery. Experimental results demonstrate that under word- and sentence-level perturbations, our approach achieves substantial improvements in robustness, while maintaining effective embedding capacity and exhibiting strong resistance to statistical analysis.
