Randomized LSB Based Video Steganography for Hiding Acoustic Data Using XOR Technique

Abstract

Preventing the secret data from malicious attackers or intruders is a part of a wide range field known as steganography. Adding a pinch to this wide area of research with a new variety could be of great deal to get rid of the attackers. This paper presents a video steganography technique for hiding audio data sequences into the random frames of the cover video. The embedding is done by using the LSB embedding technique. Before inculcating the new LSB bits of audio, XORing among the audio bits and the original LSB bits is done. This XORing avoids distortion in the cover video as well as prevents data loss after extraction.
