A system for embedding auxiliary digital information into a primary digital signal to form a composite digital signal. Auxiliary data bits modulate a pseudo-random (e.g., PN) sequence to provide an auxiliary data sequence used to modify the Least Perceptually Significant Bits (LPSBs) of successive multi-bit samples of the primary signal.
