Digital multimedia assets, including photographs, movies, and audio files, have become a staple of contemporary life. Steganography is a method for undetectable information concealment in these files. One can communicate messages to another by modifying multimedia signals so that a human would be unable to tell the difference between the original signal and the altered one. The widespread use of digital data in practical applications has prompted the development of new and efficient methods for ensuring its security. Steganographic techniques can be used to, at least in part, achieve efficient secrecy. There have been suggested new and adaptable audio steganographic techniques. By using cryptography, readable language is converted to unintelligible data. In order to send and receive text, multimedia, or other important digital files safely, this paper discusses secure communication media. To have secure communication tools, the tools must lessen potential risks and weaknesses. Therefore, the primary factor to take into account for creating a solid communication system is transferred media. The objective of steganographic systems is to find a secure and reliable method to hide a significant amount of secret data. This research focuses on digital image audio steganography, which has become a popular method for data concealment.
