Secure Data Transmission in Video Format Based on LSB and Huffman Coding

Abstract

The growth of needing to transmit bit amount of data through the internet in secure format encourage the research for steganography technique, especially in video file. Stenographic technics in video format gives many advantages to transportation of important data because video files are a part of people's daily life and the attackers can't notice easily. The high embedding capacity of video file improves the popularity of video steganography among the various media types. Therefore, the simplest form but with many advantage of (Least significant bit) LSB, that is enforced with the high compression method of Huffman chunk coding method is proposed in this paper to embed data in video file in multi-step cryptography embedding schemes. The intension is to get more secure nature of the system and to get more embedding capacity system. The experiments are carried out with various sizes of video files and text file sizes are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The results manifest superior performance for proposed algorithm with the performance parameters like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and Bit Error Rate (BER) are calculated to test the quality of stego video.

Embedding secrets in pixels: two-level security through DNA encryption and LSB image steganography

“…Muyco and team [21] executed encryption and decryption operations on images using a refined hashing technique, and subsequently applied an improved version of the LSB method to obtain enhanced steganography outcomes. Shwe Sin and colleagues [28] introduced a steganography approach that integrates the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique with Huffman coding.…”

Selective Video Encryption Using the Cross Coupling of One-dimensional Logistic Maps

“…Need for security is one of the driving forces behind the new techniques evolving in the field of cryptography. Innovation in the cameras [3] and swift advances in the storage capacity have been the reasons for increased movement of videos and also the reason behind increased quality of the videos. The encryption techniques have to preserve the quality of the videos to the maximum extent and hence the research is continued in increasing the quality of the video after the decryption.…”
