Efficient Video Steganography using Huffman Coding: A Secure Communication Approach

This paper presents a novel video steganography technique utilizing Huffman coding to embed secret data efficiently.The proposed method hides secret data, which is a small video within a cover video, ensuring secure and imperceptible communication.Huffman coding compresses the secret video, reducing the embedding capacity requirements and enabling a higher payload.The compressed secret video is then embedded into the cover video using a hybrid transform domain approach, combining Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT).The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated by experimental results in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MSE).The proposed method achieves a superior trade-off between security, robustness, and visual quality, making it suitable for various applications, including secure communication, digital watermarking, and data hiding.
