NICETEXT is a package that converts any file into pseudo-natural-language text.

It also has the ability to recover the original file from the text!

The expandable set of tools can:

• Create custom dictionaries from a variety of sources.
• Simulate many different writing styles by example!
• Alternatively use Context-Free-Grammars to control writing style.

It is the result of Mark Chapman's Masters Thesis research at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee under the advisement of Dr. George Davida.

The concepts were originally presented at the International Conference on Information and Computer Security in 1997. Updates to the software were published in October, 2001 at the Information Security Conference ISC'01. Additional enhancements and a discussion of applicability where introduced at the Infrastructure Security Conference, 2002.
