Abstract

Hiding messages for countless security purposes has become a highly fascinating subject nowadays. Encryption facilitates the data hiding. With the express development of technology, people tend to figure out a method capable of hiding a message and the survival of the message. The present-day study is conducted to hide information in an audio file. Generally, steganography advantages are not used among industry and learners even though it is an extensively discussed area in the present information world. This implementation aims to hide a document such as txt, doc, and pdf file formats in an audio file and retrieve the hidden document when necessary. This system is called DeepAudio v1.0. The system supports AES encryption and tolerates both wave and MP3 files. The sub-aims of this work were the creation of a free, openly available, bug-free software tool with additional features that are new to the area.
