“…LSBbased methods (Least Significant Bit) is a commonly employed technique in spatial domain steganography, achieved by altering the least significant bit of pixels to achieve concealment. Due to its simplicity and efficiency, this technique has found extensive application in steganography [27]- [36]. In addition to the LSB-based method, there are also works that employ alternative spatial domain techniques to embed secret data within cover videos.…”

The rapid evolution of social media platforms presents novel opportunities and challenges for video steganography techniques. This paper focuses on taking thumbnail videos as the medium for data hiding, which are extensively utilized across social media platforms. The investigation into the method of embedding secret data into post-downsampled video leads to the proposal of an adaptive, downsampling-resistant method of video steganography, tailored to leverage the unique characteristics of these widely-used video formats. To obfuscate the detectability of the target frames, a pseudorandom number algorithm is employed that adaptively selects the target frames based on a secret key and the characteristics of the video itself. To mitigate the visual perturbations caused by data embedding, the luminance channel of the video serves as the embedding medium, and Syndrome-Trellis Codes (STC) are utilized to compute the embedding pixel positions before and after downsampling separately. Extensive evaluations of this method across various downsampling algorithms and scaling ratios were conducted. The experimental results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in ensuring that the hidden data remains undetectable and intact.INDEX TERMS Adaptive, hidden communication, steganography, thumbnail video.

“…The most popular steganography technique is the LSB; it has a high embedding capacity and a low computing complexity [10]. This technique embeds a secret message in an image, audio, network, or text [21]. In the cover image, the LSB of each pixel is modified and replaced with a bit of secret data [14].…”

In the digital era, the protection of sensitive data transmitted over the Internet, such as credit card information, is paramount. This study introduces an innovative system that enhances data security during internet transmission by synergizing steganography and cryptography. The proposed method employs a two-stage process: encryption followed by concealment. Initially, secret text data is encrypted using an evolved form of Morse code, converting it into ciphertext. Subsequently, this ciphertext is discreetly embedded within a cover image utilizing the least significant bit (LSB) technique, a method renowned for its subtlety and efficiency in data hiding. The effectiveness of this novel system was evaluated by comparing its performance with existing benchmarks. The chosen test case involved embedding encrypted data within a Baboon image. The results demonstrated a notable improvement of 2.596% over the baseline, affirming the system's efficacy. A critical aspect of this approach is the high quality of the resultant stego image. This quality is instrumental in ensuring the covert nature of the embedded data, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of detection during internet transmission. Key elements of this study include the development of a more sophisticated Morse code encryption algorithm and the optimization of the LSB steganography technique. These advancements contribute to the system's robustness, rendering the encrypted and hidden data virtually undetectable and inaccessible to unauthorized entities. The integration of these two techniques represents a significant stride in the realm of digital data security, offering a dual-layered defense mechanism against potential cyber threats.
