Study of Steganographic Techniques for Data Hiding

Nowadays, the volume of data shared over the Internet is growing. As a result, data security is referred to as a major issue while processing data communications through the Internet. During communication procedures, everyone requires their data to remain secure. Steganography is the science and art of embedding audio, message, video, or image into another audio, image, video, or message to conceal it. It is used to secure confidential information from harmful attacks. This research offers a classification of digital steganography based on cover object categories, as well as a classification of steganalysis art. Image visual quality, structural similarity, mean square error, Image Fidelity, embedding capacity, and robustness are some of the important aspects of steganography. Researchers have made tremendous advances in the realm of digital steganography. Nonetheless, it is vital to emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of modern steganography techniques. This paper first presents a literature survey of information hiding, then classifies the proposed methods, and finally introduces a comparative study between the different methods.
