Steganography Based on Payload Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steganography is meant for covert communication of confidential data through internet. In this paper, we propose Steganography based on Payload Transformation (SPT) which is non LSB and non transform domain technique where the cover image is segmented into 2*2 matrices and the matrix for payload embedding is considered based on the threshold value fixed by computing adjacent pixel intensity differences. The transformation matrix is obtained based on identity matrix and the payload bit pair. Then the stego image 2*2 matrices are derived from 2*2 cover image matrices and the transformation matrix. A key generated with first bit of payload matrix at the sending end is used to extract the payload from the stego image. It is observed that proposed algorithm is more secure and robust with reasonable PSNR in comparison with existing algorithms.

Steganography Scheme Based on Reed-Muller Code with Improving Payload and Ability to Retrieval of Destroyed Data for Digital Images
In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...

متن کاملThe Best Transform in the Replacement Coefficients and the Size of the Payload Relationship Sense
Steganography is the hiding of payload data within cover data. The goal of a steganographic method is to minimize the visually apparent and statistical differences between the cover data and a steganogram while maximizing the size of the payload. Current digital image steganography presents the challenge of hiding data in a digital image in a way that is robust to image manipulation and attack....

The Steganography is used for secure communication of information by embedding information in a cover object. In this paper we propose Wavelet based Secure Steganography with Scrambled Payload (WSSSP). The Daubechies Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT) is applied on cover image. The XD band is decomposed into upper and lower bands for payload embedding. The payload is segmented into four equal bloc...
