Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to create a cross-platform video steganography program that can safely conceal data inside a video container. The research has been restricted to a particular video format due to the vast and intricate nature of the field of video editing. High-definition video is worn in a format that is frequently used. It takes more than a few weeks or months to thoroughly verify the security of any system or solution. Although a system’s security can be partially understood in this amount of time, many security experts think a system is secure only if it has not been compromised after a number of years. Steganography and cryptography are combined in the software solution to ensure a minimal level of security. Over the last decade, online video streaming has grown immensely in popularity. Several steganographic techniques have been suggested; however, they ignore some contextually significant features. These techniques were specifically designed for “real time video” and “streaming”. Several steganographic techniques, including some basic ones that have been reported in ...
