ABSTRACT
There is a lot of work done on hiding information inside picture files in formats such as JPEG, however not much has been done to date on hiding information inside MP3 audio files. This paper looks at ways to hide information inside MP3 files and proposes four largely unexplored techniques: unused header bit stuffing, unused side information bit stuffing, empty frame stuffing, and ancillary bit stuffing.

MP3 Steganography Techniques
RIIT '15: Proceedings of the 4th Annual ACM Conference on Research in Information TechnologyThe MP3 audio encoding format is currently one of the most popular encoding formats in use. On average, it takes significantly less space to store than, for example, a PCM-encoded WAV file, even though it retains most of the original, uncompressed audio ...
Probabilistically detecting steganography within MP3 files
RIIT '14: Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Research in information technologyA powerful application named MP3Stegazaurus was recently created by Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) student Mikhail Zaturenskiy which exploits a not-so-well-known feature present in MP3 files. [8] By overwriting areas that are either skipped or ...
Quantization Step Parity-based Steganography for MP3 Audio
Petitcolas has proposed a steganographic technique called MP3Stego which can hide secret messages in a MP3 audio. This technique is well-known because of its high capacity. However, in rare cases, the normal audio encoding process will be terminated due ...
