Data communication through the public communication channels is insecure due to advanced technology available for interception of third party users. Therefore, an efficient data hiding technology is vital for secure data transmission especially when the system is connected with internet services. Audio steganography is one of the promising solutions for where the information is hidden over audio file. In this paper, a novel method for the hiding of image information by converting into another format thereby reduces the computational complexity.
