Abstract

Steganography is the technique in which the secret messages are hidden within the data. It keeps both the data and their existence in a secure manner. It is used in various real time applications and also it enables a secure communication. Text files, images, audios, and videos are used in steganography to conceal the communication. The main objective of this paper is to provide a general analysis on various approaches in video steganography. It covers related works, the strength of steganography, types of steganography and different techniques of video steganography. The absolute study of various techniques of video steganography is also highlighted.
