Abstract

This paper proposes a novel information-hiding method to hide much more information into audios, compared with software mp3stego. The music files in MP3 format is so popular on Internet due to its characteristically high compression ratio and tone quality. Our proposed method can simultaneously accomplish the information embedding procedure when performing compression of MP3. In the proposed method, we modify some quantized spectrum values of audio layer III to embed secret information into audios. The capacity of our method is six times as large as that of mp3stego. At the same time, the difference between original audio and audio with secret information is imperceptible. In the experimental results, we hide more characters into audios and extract them correctly. The audios with secret information are indiscernible to human ears.
