Steganography with Least Histogram Abnormality
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel steganographic scheme is proposed which avoids asymmetry inherent in conventional LSB embedding techniques so that abnormality in the image histogram is kept minimum. The proposed technique is capable of resisting the χ test and RS analysis, as well as a new steganalytic method named GPC analysis as introduced in this paper. In the described steganographic technique, a pair of mutually complementary mappings, F1 and F−1, is used, leading to a balanced behavior of several statistical parameters explored by several steganalytic schemes, thus improved security. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

متن کاملComparison of Two Kinds of Image Scrambling Methods Based on LSB Steganalysis
According to the research of LSB steganalysis, LSB steganography could destroy the distribution of 0 and 1 in the lowest bit planes, and this situation will cause the abnormality of histogram and asymmetry statistical, thereby left an opportunity that could be exploited to the steganalysis. From the view of steganalysis, this paper compared the two typical kinds of image scrambling methods whic...
متن کاملOne-third probability embedding: a new ±1 histogram compensating image least significant bit steganography scheme
A new method is introduced for the least significant bit (LSB) image steganography in spatial domain providing the capacity of one bit per pixel. Compared to the recently proposed image steganography techniques, the new method called onethird LSB embedding reduces the probability of change per pixel to one-third without sacrificing the embedding capacity. This improvement results in a better im...

-This paper introduces a new, principled approach to least significant bit (LSB) steganography in digital signals such as images. It is shown that privacy protection of medical images with information using histogram shifting based reversible data hiding.First of all, the patient’s privacies need to be preserved.Therefore, embedding secret data into the medical images would be one of the useful...
متن کاملA Learning-Based Steganalytic Method against LSB Matching Steganography
This paper considers the detection of spatial domain least significant bit (LSB) matching steganography in gray images. Natural images hold some inherent properties, such as histogram, dependence between neighboring pixels, and dependence among pixels that are not adjacent to each other. These properties are likely to be disturbed by LSB matching. Firstly, histogram will become smoother after L...
