However, if a sender does not have the original waveform audio format （WAV） audio, the architecture cannot be used. In this paper, a new covert message method, which takes effect after WAV audio is compressed into AMR-WB speech, is proposed. This method takes advantage of algebraic codebook search. Aiming at improving speed and reducing search space, it does not perform algebraic codebook search using the optimal search algorithm, and it does not reach the positions of non-zero pulses via depth-first tree search that characterizes the energy of audio. According to the features of search methods and the codebook index construction, every track in each subframe is analyzed to find the proper positions for embedding secret information. Experimental results show that the proposed method has satisfactory capacity and simplicity regardless of compression process.展开更多
