Sound file hiding in fingerprint image

Abstract EN

In this paper, we introduce a new method to hide information (.wav sound file) in ridges of fingerprint image, the place where we hide message depend on features extracted from the image (like core, delta, ending and bifurcation) this mean using symmetric key extracted from fingerprint image.

The proposed system consist of two stages ,First stage for sound file hiding after determine useless regions while Second stage for extract message from fingerprint image .

Hide information in fingerprint image must never alter the positions and numbers of important regions or pixels .Hiding information help automated fingerprint verification system in make more reliable individual identification decision.

In this paper we use new technique in way of hiding information depend on the nature of cover image by extract specific features from fingerprint image then determining the edge of object and hide the message between this edge.
