Review of Steganographic Methods and their Application in Securing Banking Information Systems

The article provides a detailed analysis of modern steganographic methods and their practical applications across various fields, with a focus on the prospects for integration into banking systems. It examines key steganographic methods, including Least Significant Bit (LSB) sub-stitution, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), as well as hybrid approaches combining steganography with cryptography. The impact of stega-nographic methods on enhancing the security of internal communications, protecting client da-ta, and ensuring the continuity of business processes in the banking sector is analyzed. The ar-ticle presents real-world examples of implementing steganography to protect online tran¬sac-tions and mobile banking, and discusses the main stages of integrating these methods into banking systems, including security requirement analysis, testing, and staff training.
