Steganography techniques, which are a set of data hiding algorithms utilizing mathematical methods, have revealed significant advancement by means of latest computing technologies. Although many distinct steganography techniques have been suggested and implemented, an ideal solution has not been reached so far. The primary objective for steganography is to achieve a secure data transfer through a communication channel without attracting attention of unauthorized third parties. Since encryption methods do not meet the steganography requirements, a couple of data masking methods are also required. The performance of a steganography method can be assessed with the statistical similarity between cover media and stego media. In this paper, we have developed a blind steganography technique based on Human Vision System (HVS) using visible light wavelength approach. The proposed technique maintains virtually imperceptible alterations in the stego-video by means of the HVS approach. In addition, the technique developed does not require the cover video in the recovery phase so that it provides more secure manner in many types of applications.
