Abstract: To solve the problem that the speech information hiding algorithm based on random position selection and matrix coding has insufficient hiding capacity, the paper proposes a novel pitch modulation steganography method based on inactive frame. In this method, the least significant bit (LSB) replacement method is adopted for inactive frames, and the speech information hiding algorithm based on random position selection and matrix coding is adopted for active frames, which realises the pitch modulation information hiding method based on inactive frames. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out for the pitch modulation information hiding method based on inactive frames. The results indicate that the maximum hiding capacity of the algorithm in this paper can reach 241.67 bps, which significantly improves the hiding capacity, and at the same time the concealment has also been improved to a certain extent.

Keywords: information hiding; random position selection; matrix encoding; pitch modulation; inactive frame.
