Popis: Steganography is a technique that makes it possible to hide additional information (payload) in the original signal (cover work). This paper focuses on hiding information in a speech signal. One of the major problems with steganographic systems is ensuring synchronization. The paper presents four new and effective mechanisms that allow achievement of synchronization on the receiving side. Three of the developed methods of synchronization operate directly on the acoustic signal, while the fourth method works in the higher layer, analyzing the structure of the decoded steganographic data stream. The results of the research concerning both the evaluation of signal quality and the effectiveness of synchronization are presented. The signal quality was assessed based on both objective and subjective methods. The conducted research confirmed the effectiveness of the developed methods of synchronization during the transmission of steganographic data in the VHF radio link and in the VoIP channel.
