An Adaptive Audio Steganography for Covert Wireless Communication

الملخص EN

In recent years, the wide applications of the wireless sensor networks have achieved great success.

However, the security is a critical issue in many scenarios ranging from covert military operations to the organization of the social unrest.

Because the traditional encrypting methods are easy to arouse suspicion, an adaptive audio steganography method is proposed.

The method is based on interval and variable low bit coding, which can be applied to covert wireless communication.

The interval for embedding secret messages into the audio file and the threshold in variable low bit coding are used for selecting the embedding location and embedding bits adaptively; thus the embedding capacity and the embedding rate are variable.

Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has better performance in embedding rate and invisibility than other audio steganography methods.
