A Proposed Technique for Hiding Encrypted Data in Video Files

Computer technology and the Internet have made a breakthrough in the existence of data communication. Securing the data transfer over a transmission media has become of great importance. This has opened a new way of implementing steganography to ensure secure data transfer. Steganography is the fine art of hiding the information. Hiding a message in a carrier file enables the deniability of the existence of any message at all. This paper proposes a steganographic technique to hide text data in a computer video file. The proposed data hiding system’s objectives are: storage capacity, perceptual invisibility, strength against detection attacks and distortion resistance.
