Audio steganography is one of the important methods to transit hidden information by modifying an audio signal in an imperceptible manner. In audio steganography, determining the best possible position for embedding the secret message with minimum alteration of the cover audio remains a challenging issue. In this technique we hide secrete text or audio information in a host message such that no one except the intended receiver is aware of its existence and prevents unauthorised access. Various techniques have been used for embedding information in digital audio. Least significant bit (LSB) technique is most commonly used technique for secure data transfer. This paper presents replacement of bits of samples to hide a sequence of bits of secrete text. The bits of samples are selected in a circular manner from LSB to MSB or vice versa. The results reveal satisfactory performance of the system and may be used for secure movement of data.

Maintaining data confidentiality and integrity during the large VM migration is quite challenging. Simultaneously, the use of complex encryption or steganography for managing them increases data and time overheads. These may cause data loss. The transportation of large VMs further consumes significant bandwidth and causes page faults. However, these issues aren't dealt with in modern literature, despite many research attempts. Moreover, unlawful intrusions and various transmission errors make these matters worse. Hence, this research work proposes an efficient technique that addresses such outstanding issues in a unified way. The suggested solution has a special data compression method that reduces big VM sizes to 53.9%, a new steganography method to enhance data confidentiality and integrity, and a smart split migration method to stop page faults as well as lower data loss to 0.0009%. The results further show that it cuts down on downtime by 10% more than the existing VM migration methods. The obtained results justify its efficiencies over other existing ones in distinct dimensions.

Data integrity, confidentiality and data loss are the issues that arise during transmission because of the use of an inadequate security scheme. These issues become particularly critical for big data transmission due to its own individual overhead causes. Moreover, multiple executions of distinct security algorithms for maintaining confidentiality and integrity reduce throughput and add a large number of additional bits as security overhead that hampers the robustness against data loss. Conversely, an efficient compression technique minimizes data confidentiality, as it eliminates redundant data during compression. Contemporary studies shows the lack of security policies for solving the mentioned issues in a combinatorial manner. The current study proposes an innovative integrated technique to collectively addresses the above security issues. It increases confidentiality and offers a backup for accidental data loss by combining the simplified data encryption standard (SDES) and an advanced pattern generation technique that uses a unique pattern generation table. A novel dual round of error control technique has been introduced to maximize data integrity by considering an arbitrary number of transmission errors. A new compression technique is adopted to enhance the robustness against data loss along with high compression efficiency and resistance against transmission errors. Confidentiality and integrity are further enhanced by integrating advanced audio steganography that uses a distinctive sample selection for hiding bits. Additionally, the implementation of the proposed innovative integrated technique in the graphics processing unit (GPU) environment increases the execution speed and reduces time complexity with extended parallel processing power. Furthermore, the application of a GPU enhances the execution speed at least 28-fold compared to the CPU performance. Experiments are performed using the standard Calgary Corpuses, text files (sized up to 1 TB), and audio files to validate the objectives. The proposed method offers a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), entropy, and avalanche effect (AE) and lower amplitude difference (AD), and uncorrectable error rate (UER) as well as a lower percentage of information loss (IL), which substantiates its potential to offer higher data confidentiality and integrity. The capacity to reduce the computational complexity is further measured with compression ratio (CR) and throughput. The results further depicts the method's superiority in offering confidentiality and integrity over contemporary approaches.
