Steganography is the art and science of hiding the actual important information under graphics, text, cover file etc. These techniques may be applied without fear of image destruction because they are more integrated into the image. Information can be in the form of text, audio, video. The purpose of steganography is to covert communication and to hide a message from a third party or intruder. Steganography is often confused with cryptography because the two are similar in the way that both are used to protect confidential information. Though there are many types of steganography, video Steganography is more reliable due to high capacity image, more data embedment, perceptual redundancy etc. This research paper deals with various Video Steganography techniques and algorithms including Spatial Domain, Pseudorandom permutations, TPVD (Tri-way pixel value differencing), Motion Vector Technique, Video Compression, and Motion Vector Technique. The Video compression which uses modern coding techniques to reduce redundancy in video data has been also studied and analyzed. In fact, Video compression operates on square-shaped groups or blocks of neighboring pixels, often called macro blocks. These pixel groups or blocks of pixels are compared from one frame to the next and the video compression code sends only the differences within those blocks. Generally, the motion field in video compression is assumed to be translational with horizontal component and vertical component and denoted in vector form for the spatial variables in the underlying image, such as three steps search, etc. The study also discusses and focusses on the evolution of the Video Steganography techniques and algorithms over the years based on its application and subsequent merits and demerits. Further, Advanced Video Steganography Algorithm/Bit Exchange Method based on the bit shifting and XOR operation in the secret message file has been studied and implemented. The encrypted secret message is embed in the cover file in alternate byte. The bits are substituted in LSB & LSB+3 bits in the cover file. Finally, the simulation and evaluation of the above mentioned approach is performed using MATLAB tools.
