Stegovideo: An Efficient Mechanism for Securing Video Data Using Steganography and Cryptography Techniques

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic episodes have rapidly expanded multimedia systems utilization across the globe. Nowadays, practically all companies and educational systems rely predominantly on streaming platforms. Owing to the popularity of online streaming; it is crucial to secure video. Although, a few techniques have been deployed to guarantee secured video transmission. Nonetheless, the recent usage of video applications due to the pandemic poses more security risks such as losing sensitive video content to intruders. In this paper, a hybrid framework (named Stego Video) is proposed for securing video information by consolidating the best components of RSA encryption and LSB steganography procedures. This strategy guarantees that videos with sensitive information are imperceptible by intruders because the encoded video is introduced in the form of images and is converted back to videos when decrypted. Our experimental results revealed that Stego Video is a proficient method for securing video content on the Internet.
