Abstract

This paper proposes an audio steganography method based on run length encoding and integer wavelet transform which can be used to hide secret message in digital audio. The major contribution of the proposed scheme is to propose an audio steganography with high capacity, where the secret information is compressed by run length encoding. In the applicable scenario, the main purpose is to hide as more information as possible in the cover audio files. First, the secret information is chaotic scrambling, then the result of scrambling is run length encoded, and finally, the secret information is embedded into integer wavelet coefficients. The experimental results and comparison with existing technique show that by utilizing the lossless compression of run length encoding and anti-attack of wavelet domain, the proposed method has improved the capacity, good audio quality, and can achieve blind extraction while maintaining imperceptibility and strong robustness.
