Abstract
Security and robustness are very important issues in designing a fine steganographic algorithm. Security is required due to a large amount of data transferred through the Internet. Today, image is a popular data which contains lots of secret information. This paper presents a technique to hide an image into the video using a combination of video steganography and cryptography. In this paper, we have used a multi-object vector steganography algorithm for hiding an image, and after this process, for video encryption, variable length mixed key cryptography (VLMKC) algorithm is used. A combination of steganography and cryptography provided more security. Our proposed method is highly secure because hackers do not know in which frame of the video sequence, image is hidden and how many images are used for hiding process, and do not know about actual information because the information is encrypted.
