Abstract: Video steganography aims to hide the presence of a communication from a hostile third party. One of the techniques recommended in this study is the hash-based least significant bit method for video steganography. The study conducts an in-depth analysis of the numerous enhancements that have been made to the safety of data transmission, as well as the several methods that have been adapted in order to accomplish the same goal. The results of the MATLAB simulation show that the proposed method is superior to other state-of-the-art methods that are currently in use. According to the findings of the comparison, the data-hiding method that has been proposed provides increased safety and reduces distortions for improved video quality. The results of our experiments suggest that our algorithm offers a high level of protection while having just a minimal effect on video quality.
