A Novel Steganography Technique for SDTV-H.264/AVC Encoded Video

Abstract

Today, eavesdropping is becoming a common issue in the rapidly growing digital network and has foreseen the need for secret communication channels embedded in digital media. In this paper, a novel steganography technique designed for Standard Definition Digital Television (SDTV) H.264/AVC encoded video sequences is presented. The algorithm introduced here makes use of the compression properties of the Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) entropy encoder to achieve a low complexity and real-time inserting method. The chosen scheme hides the private message directly in the H.264/AVC bit stream by modifying the AC frequency quantized residual luminance coefficients of intrapredicted I-frames. In order to avoid error propagation in adjacent blocks, an interlaced embedding strategy is applied. Likewise, the steganography technique proposed allows self-detection of the hidden message at the target destination. The code source was implemented by mixing MATLAB 2010 b and Java development environments. Finally, experimental results have been assessed through objective and subjective quality measures and reveal that less visible artifacts are produced with the technique proposed by reaching PSNR values above 40.0 dB and an embedding bit rate average per secret communication channel of 425 bits/sec. This exemplifies that steganography is affordable in digital television.

A Review of Motion Vector-Based Video Steganography

“…Although different video coding standards have different performances, they all use a hybrid coding framework, which usually contains techniques such as prediction, variation, quantization, entropy coding, intraframe prediction, interframe prediction, and loop filtering. erefore, video steganography can be classified into intraframe prediction modes [22,23], interframe prediction modes [24,25], MVs [26,27], transform coefficients [28,29], quantization parameters [30], and entropy coding coefficients [31]. Table 1 lists the advantages and disadvantages of various embedding domain steganography in the video.…”

A steganographic method based on optimized audio embedding technique for secure data communication in the internet of things

“…Steganography is a science of secret communication that hides the secret information within another object such as image, audio, and video . It is derived from the Greek word stego means roof or cover and graphy means writing, so steganography literally means cover writing, the medium in which the covert message is embedded is known as stego medium . Steganography is considered to be one of the robust methods for hiding the secret information .…”
