This survey reviews 148 linguistic steganographic methods, 60 countermeasures, 23 evaluation metrics, and 9 open challenges, providing taxonomies, reviews, and adoption analyses. It identifies five paradigm shifts brought by large language models: moving from covertext modification to prompt-only generation, from heuristic to provable security, from white-box symmetric models to black-box or asymmetric access, from security-centric designs to joint optimization, and from text-quality concerns to engineering issues. The paper aims to serve as a reference and roadmap for practical and responsible linguistic steganography in the LLM era.

WeaveMark is a new multi‑bit watermarking scheme for large language models that improves payload capacity, extraction accuracy, and text quality by using coded payload spreading, soft‑decision error‑correcting codes, and unbiased multilayer reweighting. It also adds zero‑bit layers for reliable detection of watermark presence. Experiments demonstrate significant gains, achieving an 89.8% match rate for 32‑bit messages at 200 tokens and maintaining 86.0% accuracy under 10% substitution attacks on 16‑bit messages, far outperforming the BiMark baseline.
