چکیده

For good security and large payload in steganography, it is desired to embed as many messages as possible per change of the coverobject, i.e., to have high embedding efficiency. Steganographic codes derived from covering codes can improve embedding efficiency. In this paper, we propose a new method to construct stego-codes, showing that not just one but a family of stego-codes can be generated from one covering code by combining Hamming codes and wet paper codes. This method can enormously expand the set of embedding schemes as applied in steganography. Performances of stego-code families of structured codes and random codes are analyzed. By using the stego-code families of LDGM codes, we obtain a family of near optimal embedding schemes for binary steganography and ±1 steganography, respectively, which can approach the upper bound of embedding efficiency for various chosen

Efficient Wet Paper Codes

Wet paper codes were proposed as a tool for constructing steganographic schemes with an arbitrary selection channel that is not shared between the sender and the recipient. In this paper, we describe new approaches to wet paper codes that enjoy low computational complexity and improved embedding efficiency (number of message bits per embedding change). Some applications of wet paper codes to st...

High Performance Steganographic Scheme Applying Time-Varying Convolutional Embedding Codes

A matrix embedding code was developed as a commonly used steganographic technique in which a parity-check matrix is used to perform embedding. However, a drawback of high decoding complexity for linear block codes by using the maximum-likelihood algorithm is unrealistic. This paper proposes a simple and effective trellis embedding scheme for binary messages. Compared with a matrix embedding alg...

On Steganographic Embedding Efficiency

In this paper, we study embedding efficiency, which is an important attribute of steganographic schemes directly influencing their security. It is defined as the expected number of embedded random message bits per one embedding change. Constraining ourselves to embedding realized using linear covering codes (so called matrix embedding), we show that the quantity that determines embedding effici...

An Information Hiding Scheme Based on (7,4) Hamming Code Oriented Wet Paper Codes

Generally, the embedding quality and the embedding capacity are two important factors in evaluating the performance of information hiding schemes, but they are usually inversely proportional. Thus, to satisfy the different requirements, the users often make a tradeoff between good embedding quality and high embedding capacity. In this paper, a spatial domain technique, embedding binary message ...
