Abstract: The new invention in the field of communications especially the 3G mobile technologies are in double role, some of the benefits of the system are face-to-face communication, video-on-demand, multimedia facilities and some of the setbacks include face trap, voice capturing, image manipulations etc. The new communication technology should be more secure and be useful for the national security system, intelligence bureaus, internet banking system, geographical information system, image based communication and wherever the security of the system is required. In this proposed work, we suggest a novel highly secured steganographic data transmission techniques by hiding the image of a sender into speech or text data file. By concealing the secret image file, we can maintain the high level of security with low bandwidth.

Keywords: steganography; 3G; mobile communications; text files; secret image files; secure image transmission; security; speech files; data hiding; low bandwidth.
