An Analysis of LSB & DCT based Steganography

چکیده
This paper presents analysis of Least Significant Bit (LSB) based Steganography and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based Steganography. LSB based Steganography embed the text message in least significant bits of digital picture. Least significant bit (LSB) insertion is a common, simple approach to embedding information in a cover file. Unfortunately, it is vulnerable to even a small image manipulation. Converting an image from a format like GIF or BMP, which reconstructs the original message exactly (lossless compression) to a JPEG, which does not (lossy compression), and then back could destroy the information hidden in the LSBs. DCT based Steganography embed the text message in least significant bits of the Discrete Cosine (DC) coefficient of digital picture. When information is hidden inside video, the program hiding the information usually performs the DCT. DCT works by slightly changing each of the images in the video, only to the extent that is not noticeable by the human eye. An implementation of both these methods and their performance analysis has been done in this paper. KeywordsLeast Significant Bit (LSB), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Steganography

Steganography Technique Based on DCT Coefficients
The least significant-bit (LSB) based techniques are very popular for steganography in spatial domain. The simplest LSB technique simply replaces the LSB in the cover image with the bits from secret information. Further advanced techniques use some criteria to identify the pixels in which LSB(s) can be replaced with the bits of secret information. In DCT based technique insertion of secret info...
متن کاملA Review of Comparison Techniques of Image Steganography
Steganography is an important area of research in recent years involving a number of applications. It is the science of embedding information into the cover image viz., text, video, and image (payload) without causing statistically significant modification to the cover image. The modern secure image steganography presents a challenging task of transferring the embedded information to the destin...
متن کاملData Security Using LSB & DCT Steganography In Images
Abstract Steganography is a technique of hiding information in digital media. In contrast to cryptography, it is not to keep others from knowing the hidden information but it is to keep others from thinking that the information even exists.In this paper, we propose a LSB & DCT-based steganographic method for hiding the data. Each bit of data is embedded by altering the least significant bit of ...
متن کاملA Steganography Implementation based on LSB & DCT
In recent years, Steganography and Steganalysis are two important areas of research that involve a number of applications. These two areas of research are important especially when reliable and secure information exchange is required. Steganography is an art of embedding information in a cover image without causing statistically significant variations to the cover image. Steganalysis is the tec...
متن کاملEigenvalues-based LSB steganalysis
So far, various components of image characteristics have been used for steganalysis, including the histogram characteristic function, adjacent colors distribution, and sample pair analysis. However, some certain steganography methods have been proposed that can thwart some analysis approaches through managing the embedding patterns. In this regard, the present paper is intended to introduce a n...
