Investigation of Steganography Methods in Audio Standard Coders: LPC, CELP, MELP

Information security is currently one of the most important issues that have been considered by many researchers. The purpose of Steganography is to hide hidden messages in a non-secret file. In general, information Steganography is a method of secure communication that aims to hide data so that no data appears to be hidden. The principle of Steganography is to use spaces from the information carrier that do not harm the identity of the carrier.  By Steganography information from unauthorized recipients, the information is hidden and hidden inside it without harming the signals. This information may be transmitted around us and wherever any file is sent. It may contain very dangerous content for the security of the space in which we live. Audio signals are very used for steganography because Digital audio signals have higher redundancy and higher data transfer speeds, making them suitable for use as a cover. The LPC10, CELP, and MELP audio standards are widely used in audio and speech processing and are powerful high-quality speech coding methods that provide highly accurate estimates of audio parameters and are widely used in communications. Therefore, since considering that these audio standards are used in commercial and military telecommunication systems, they can be considered a suitable platform for sending the following message of audio content. We try to carefully examine these standards and the audio Steganography done in these standards.
