Implementation of steganographic software for hiding information in mpeg video files

Abstract

This article is devoted to the implementation of a steganographic software tool for hiding infor-mation in MPEG video files. The method of least significant bits was used to hide the data, and error-correcting coding with binary cyclic codes was used to increase the stability of the embedded data. In addition to hiding data, the AES-128 cipher algorithm is applied to the initial data in the algorithm. A software tool has been developed, designed according to the described scheme, which guarantees the im-possibility of detecting and reading the transmitted data by third parties, provided that they do not have access to private data.
