        abstract = {In the modern age where information security is paramount, it is of utmost importance to conform to the most recent advancements in security technology for data security and integrity. Steganography is a ground-breaking technique in the field of information security for the purpose of covert data transmission. The technique is used to hide high fidelity information in unsecure channels so it has to transmit and receive safely to the authority using a medium that is a carrier or a cover file. This paper attempts to highlight the novel and robust approach of combining cryptographic techniques with audio steganography to utilize the spectral spaces of the audio cover to transmit information securely.},
