Abstract

This paper proposed a secure authenticated quantum video steganography protocol with large capacity. The new protocol can embed secret quantum information into carrier quantum video, and expand the embedding capacity to a large extent. It also manages to accomplish quantum information steganography process based on unique features of video as well as authentication mechanism for better security. Finally, the simulation experiment proves that the new protocol not only has good performance on imperceptibility and security, but also owns a large capacity.
