A Novel Steganography Technique for SDTV-H.264/AVC Encoded Video by Christian Di Laura, Diego Pajuelo, Guillermo Kemper

“…The algorithm introduced here makes use of the compression properties of the Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) entropy encoder to achieve a low complexity and real-time inserting method. The chosen scheme hides the private message directly in the H.264/AVC bit stream by modifying the AC frequency quantized residual luminance coefficients of intrapredicted I-frames. …”
