Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes an improved way for securely transmitting hidden messages over communication networks while maintaining their privacy during encryption processing. It achieves these benefits by selecting specific shapes or positions within the message windows based on certain criteria like frequency content, time duration, etc., instead of just adding plaintext characters throughout them. Additionally, it uses compressive audio signals to hide important parts inside the encrypted signal itself, making its analysis easier than traditional methods. Overall, this new approach provides better protection against attacks and allows for more efficient transmission and reduction of computationally expensive processes compared to existing techniques.

Problems solved by technology

This technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving digital encryption algorithms while maintaining their privacy capabilities during transmission across different media types like broadcast TVs and internet connections.

Embodiment 1

[0049] In MP3 and AAC compression audio coding process, the choice of the shape of the window of the audio granular data has certain flexibility, and the steganography of secret information can be realized by means of this flexibility. figure 1 It is the standard process of compressed domain audio compression coding. After an audio granular data of uncompressed audio is processed by a filter bank, it will undergo Modified Discrete Cosine Transform (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform). Before performing Modified Discrete Cosine Transform, it is first necessary to The current audio granular data output by the filter bank is subjected to windowing processing, and the shape of the window to be selected in the windowing process is determined by the perceptual entropy (Perceptual Entropy) of the audio granular data calculated by the psychoacoustic model and the previous audio granular data. The shape of the selected window is determined. Both MP3 and AAC compressed audio coding stan...

Embodiment 2

[0074] Aiming at the digital steganography method using compressed audio as a masking carrier, the present invention proposes a digital extraction method using compressed audio as a masking carrier, such as Figure 5 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps:

[0075] 1) The extraction end receives the compressed audio containing secret information and the secret information extraction key sent by the steganography end.

[0076] 2) The extraction terminal decodes the currently pending compressed audio containing secret information in units of audio granular data, and decodes the frame information of the audio granular data before decoding the audio granular data, and defines the currently decoded frame information as Currently decoded frame information.

[0077] 3) According to the current decoding frame information, directly obtain the shape of the window used in the encoding and compression process of the audio granular data corresponding to the current decoding fram...

Abstract

The invention discloses digital steganography and digital extraction methods with compressed audio as a masking carrier. In a digital steganography method, the window shape of audio particle data is selected to be used as a steganography object and is switched to realize hiding of bits of secret information, and the code stream length of the compressed audio containing the secret information and the code stream length of the compressed audio containing no secret information are constant, thus the problems of code bit rate increment, document length variation and the like of the whole compressed audio due to steganography operation are avoided, and the safety of the secret information is effectively ensured; and in a digital extraction method, the window shape of the audio particle data corresponding to frame information obtained through decoding is determined, then the bits of the secret information are directly obtained according to the window shape, and because the window shape can be obtained through extraction from the frame information when the frame information of the audio particle data is decoded, the audio particle data does not require to be decoded, thus the real-time property of a secret information extraction process is effectively improved.
