Method of Masking Information in the Contours of Video Images

This article contains information on the analysis of existing steganographic methods of hiding information in order to create a new one. Media files, including video ones, are considered as a container for embedding information in this research. The aim of the research is to develop new steganographic method of data embedding. Due to the fact of using outlines as a container, the developed method allows embedding a large amount of information without significantly changing the appearance of the container. The presence of several levels of abstraction from specific values increases the security of built-in data from external interference.
