Steganography is the art of hiding information in ways that prevent its detection. A message in cipher text may arouse suspicion while an invisible message will not. Digital steganography uses a host data or message, known as a “container” or “cover” to hide another data or message called “secret” in it. An audio in audio steganography system had been proposed in this thesis in order to embed a secret audio data in another cover audio data.

There are two main alternatives to compress a video. The first one, usually called intraframe approach, pretends to remove the spatial redundancy of an image without destroying important information. These methods are suitable for still image applications such as multimedia, image database, etc. Nevertheless, in applications that use a sequence of image, data such as TV scenes, video conferencing etc, time redundancy can be exploited to increase the compression ratio since consecutive frames are usually highly correlated.

Biometrics is refers to the automatic identification of a living person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Hand identification involves an analysis and measures of the features of the hand. In this research work, we have two steps. The first step is enrollment step and the second is identification step.In the enrollment step, the stages image capture, image binarization, edge detection and feature extraction were implemented. In the image capture, the user has to put his hand in the scanner with fingers spread freely without using any pegs.
