An effective way to hide the secret audio file using high frequency manipulation

Abstract

As the technology increases day by day, human dependency increases on technologies. In present scenario everyone wants to do their work, business etc with the help of computer or with internet. Hence this increases the possibility of large-scale unauthorized copying which may lead to undermine the music, film, book and software industries. These concerns over protecting copyright have triggered significant research to find ways to hide copyright messages and serial number into digital media. An important sub discipline of information hiding is Watermarking. Digital Watermarking is an authentication technique which permanently embeds a digital signal (watermark) in text, image, audio, video files (any Data) by slightly modifying the data but in such a way that there are no harmful effects on the data. In this paper, we present audio watermarking technique that utilized the manipulation in high frequency of an audio signal to hide secret message The experimented result developed through MATLAB show that the usefulness of this technique. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
