MP3 Steganography: Review

Steganography has existed as the science and art for hiding information in a way that the secret message cannot be deciphered by others, except the sender and receiver. All digital files such as audio, image and text files can be utilized for hiding secret information. Audio file can provide a good hiding medium because of its high data transmission rate and high degree of redundancy. Many formats such as MP3 have been utilized in audio information hiding, however to date there are limited review on the use of MP3 file as an audio file information hiding format. In this paper, we present a thorough analysis on the techniques used in audio files technologies, with more emphasis on MP3 steganography technique. This is to make available comprehensive information on the strengths and weaknesses of the MP3 file steganography techniques and detail comparison information for the research community on information protection.
