Hiding Authenticable General Digital Information behind Binary Images with Reduced Distortion

چکیده
A new approach to information hiding in binary images with the capabilities of hidden data authentication and image distortion reduction is proposed. The hidden information may be of any data form. Based on a new feature called surrounding edge count for measuring the structural randomness in an image block, pixel embeddability is defined from the viewpoint of minimizing image distortion. Accordingly, embeddable image pixels suitable for hiding secret data are selected. Furthermore, an error-correcting scheme is used both for hidden data authentication and for image distortion reduction. Finally, to increase the security of embedded data, a secret key and a random number generator are employed to randomize the locations of selected pixels into which secret data are embedded. Experimental results show the feasibility of the approach for real applications.

Entropy Based Data Hiding for Document Images
In this paper we present a novel technique for data hiding in binary document images. We use the concept of entropy in order to identify document specific least distortive areas throughout the binary document image. The document image is treated as any other image and the proposed method utilizes the standard document characteristics for the embedding process. Proposed method minimizes perceptu...
