Multi agent based audio steganography

Abstract

Today's Information Technology grows rapidly with new technologies and need more security for the data transmission over the internet. Steganography is one of the solutions to ensure the data secure over the internet. An audio steganography is a method to transfer concealed information by changing the cover audio file without degrading the quality of the original file. The cover medium before steganography and stego medium after steganography should have the same characteristics of a good steganographic system. The Agent technology involves distributing the services with flexible manner. As most of the applications are created as services in present computing scenario and data security also can be served as a service. Agent-based steganography will improve the efficiency of the secure steganographic system and it will be more convenient in terms of flexibility and availability. In this research paper, we present a trusted communication platform for multi-agents that are able to hide the confidential message in the cover audio stream according to the user request and retrieve the hidden information from the stego audio file. This system provides high availability and flexibility in this context and a more feasible way to trust the message transmission. This work is currently being done and designing part of this work has been done successfully with satisfied results.
