Abstract

Usage of the fast development of real-life digital applications in modern technology should guarantee novel and efficient way-outs of their protection. Encryption facilitates the data hiding. With the express development of technology, people tend to figure out a method that is capable of hiding a message and the survival of the message. Secrecy and efficiency can be obtained through steganographic involvement, a novel approach, along with multipurpose audio streams. Generally, steganography advantages are not used among industry and learners even though it is extensively discussed in the present information world. Information hiding in audio files is exclusively inspiring due to the compassion of the Human Auditory System (HAS). The proposed resolution supports Advance Encryption Standard (AES)256 key encryption and tolerates all existing audio file types as the container. This paper analyzes and proposes a way out according to the performance based on robustness, security, and hiding capacity. Furthermore, a survey of audio steganography applications, as well as a proposed resolution, is discussed in this paper.
