Abstract
Steganography is one of the best data hiding technique in the world which can be used to hide data without its presence felt. In today's digital world most of us communicate via use of electronic media or internet. Most people among us remain unaware about the data loss or data theft which can happen on online transmission of data or message. Valuable information including personal data, messages transmitted through internet is vulnerable to hackers who may steal or decrypt our data or messages. This paper is about enhancing the data or message security with use of Audio Steganography using LSB algorithm to hide the message into multiple audio files. The message hidden by this application is less vulnerable to be stolen than other similar applications. This is due to following reasons: Firstly multiple files are taken to hide high amount of message which enhance information hiding capacity. Secondly before being hidden, the message is broken into parts and shuffled randomly based on permutation generated at runtime so even if the LSB gets encountered the message is still unarranged and meaningless which enhances its security. This application is capable to carry large amount of information with greater security.
