Problems of detect ability and capacity are two major challenges of steganography. Traditional methods often hide secret message in least significant bits which can cause low capacity. The secret bits may be ignored by men but detectable for machines. This paper introduced a referential method which needs no cover image. In this method, secret message is ciphered using a cipher graph and written to an empty graph to form a figure.The method provides good concealment to both the secret message and the existence of the secret message. The capacity of the method is bigger than many traditional stego methods too.

“…The method was robust against lossless and lossy compression. Cruz et al [5] presented a study about the design, implementation, and automatic tools for analyzing FLV files. They proposed several methods for hiding data inside the different parts of FLV files and discussed the merits and demerits of each method.…”

Steganography is not only the art of hiding secret messages in cover media but also a process of communication and secure data transfer. Secret messages can be sent over the Internet with security by using several steganography techniques, but all of them present challenges in steganalysis. This study proposes a new secure technique called flash video (FLV) file steganography that keeps the frame video quality and is difficult to detect. The technique can hide any type of secret message inside a given FLV file. The secret message is divided into packets of the same length, reordered packet, and encrypted bytes before being hidden at the end of a selected video tag. A simulated annealing (SA) approach to select tags for steganography is presented to reduce or avoid the challenge of steganalysis. The proposed method uses SA as supporting framework to deal with the FLV file as a host for different types of secret messages. The system determines the minimum path within the host FLV file by using SA and hides the message bits inside each pixel in the minimum computed path. Analysis of the host FLV file cannot be performed without proper knowledge on the transformation process. Thus, the existence of the secret message is difficult to detect by steganalysis. Knowledge is represented by the key of finding the minimum path in the host FLV file, key of secret message length, key of additional bytes, key of message packets reordering and key of message extension. Experimental results show that the proposed technique satisfies the main requirements of steganography with regard to visual appearance, capacity, undetectability, and robustness against extraction.

“…As for the tags, it consists of audio tags and video tags, 0x08 for AUDIO and 0x09 for VIDEO, and lastly 0x12 for META. In each tags, it contains the type, body length, timestamp, timestamp extended, streamID, and the body (actual data) [10].…”

Abstract-Video steganography is about hiding the secret message into the video as the cover media. Steganography is a technique use to secure the transmission of secret information or hide their existence. Most of the steganography software such as DeEgger Embedder and OurSecret does not have encryption algorithm to preserve the confidentiality for the secret message. OurSecret software only using simple password to keep the secrecy of the message. A simple password is not strong enough to protect the secret message, secret message will be vulnerable once the attacker successfully attack the steganography technique use to hide the secret message in the video. Furthermore, password is not an encryption algorithm. Secret message without encrypted is the vulnerability to the secret message. Confidentiality of the secret message will not be able to preserve. Hence there is a need to encrypt the secret message with stream cipher while not leaving it vulnerable to attacker. Stream cipher provide bit by bit encryption. A video steganography with embedding text with RC4 encryption cipher is design, develop and test in this project.
