No matter what the method you use, it will need to resort to adding
extra bytes to the end of the file. (Or the beginning, or the middle,
but that does not make much difference.) The only way to make a file
bigger is to add more bytes to it.

However, once you add more data to the file, you are changing it. This
way, you cannot expect that programs know that the extra data you added
is not to be considered, and they will be confused and you will have
varied results.

And this has nothing to do with linux, the same situation would happen
with any operating system.

As others pointed out, you should review your concepts about security.
Or explain things more carefully, because based on what you explained, I
do not see that as an approach to security. But I might have missed some
point.
