Abstract

Using low-rate compressed speech coding for large-capacity steganography is always a big challenge due to its low redundant information. To overcome this challenge, we propose a method of embedding and extracting steganography in low-rate speech coding using three-dimensional Sudoku matrix. Analysis shows that this method can enhance the concealment of steganographic information and improve the steganography capacity of low-rate speech coding. The experimental results showed that using the current typical low speech coding standard G.723.1 achieved a steganographic capacity of 200 bit/s and a reduction of less than 10% in the sensory evaluation value of the speech quality of the coded speech.
