Video Steganography Techniques: A Survey

Abstract

In digital world, information security is the major issue in digital communication on a network from the third party hackers. Steganography techniques play an important role in information security. These are the secure techniques, used for concealing existence of secret information in any digital cover object viz. image, audio, video files. In last several decades, significant researches have been done on video and image steganography techniques because data embedding and data extraction is very simple. However, many researchers also take the audio file as a cover object where robustness and undetectability of information is very difficult task. The main objective of steganography is hiding the existence of the embedded data in any digital cover object. Steganography technique must be robust against the various image-processing attacks. Nowadays, video files are more accepted because of large size and memory requirements. This paper intends to provide a survey on video techniques and provide the fundamental concept of the steganography and their uses
