METHOD FOR SECURING INFORMATION

Abstract

ABSTRACT A method (100) for securing information through advanced video steganography, the method (100) comprising the steps of processing a video by transforming the video frames into the frequency domain using discrete cosine transform (DCT); encrypting the information to be hidden using a secure encryption algorithm; embedding the encrypted information into selected DCT coefficients of the video frames; reconstructing the stego-video from the modified DCT coefficients; extracting the encrypted information from the stego-video by applying inverse DCT to the modified frames and decrypting the extracted data. <>

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to a field of data security and cryptography, specifically to a method for securing information through advanced video steganography and encryption techniques.
BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] Steganography is the art of concealing information within other, seemingly innocuous data. Traditional methods of digital data security use encryption techniques to protect data, but steganography provides an additional layer of security by em , Claims:1. A method (100) for securing information through advanced video steganography, the method (100) comprising the steps of:
processing a video by transforming the video frames into the frequency domain using discrete cosine transform (DCT);
encrypting the information to be hidden using a secure encryption algorithm;
embedding the encrypted information into selected DCT coefficients of the video frames;
reconstructing the stego-video from the modified DCT coefficients; and
extracting the encrypted information from the stego-video by applying inverse DCT to the modified frames and decrypting the extracted data.

2. The method (100) of claim 1, further comprising applying error correction techniques to improve the robustness of the embedded information against video processing attacks.

3. The method (100) of claim 1, further comprising applying video compression techniques to reduce the size of the stego-video while preserving the embedded information.

4. The method (100) of claim 1, wherein the DCT coefficie
