Abstract
With the rapid development of digital multimedia applications, the secure data transmission becomes the main issue in data communication system. So the multimedia data hiding techniques have been developed to ensure the secured data transfer. Steganography is an art of hiding a secret message within an image/audio/video file in such a way that the secret message cannot be perceived by hacker/intruder. In this study, we use RSA encryption algorithm to encrypt the message and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to encode the message in the audio file. This study presents a method to access the negative audio bytes and includes the negative audio bytes in the message encoding and position embedding process. This increases the capacity of encoding message in the audio file. The use of GA operators in Genetic Algorithm reduces the noise distortions.
