H.264 Bitstream Manipulation for Steganographic Payload Embedding

H.264 bitstreams provide a rich, structured surface for steganographic embedding due to their hierarchical syntax and redundancy in encoding conventions. This article details how to locate, parse, and modify syntactically valid NAL units—specifically targeting slice headers and SEI messages—to embed recoverable metadata without breaking decodab ...
