چکیده

In this paper, a novel data hiding technique is proposed, as an improvement over the Fibonacci LSB data-hiding technique proposed by Battisti et al. [1] based on decomposition of a number (pixel-value) in sum of natural numbers. This particular representation again generates a different set of (virtual) bit-planes altogether, suitable for embedding purposes. We get more bitplanes than that we get using Prime technique [2]. These bitplanes not only allow one to embed secret message in higher bitplanes but also do it without much distortion, with a much better stego-image quality, and in a reliable and secured manner, guaranteeing efficient retrieval of secret message. A comparative performance study between the classical Least Significant Bit (LSB) method, the Fibonacci LSB data-hiding technique and the proposed schemes indicate that image quality of the stego-image hidden by the technique using the natural decomposition method improves drastically against that using Prime and Fibonacci decomposition technique. Experimental results also illustrate that, the stego-image is visually indistinguishable from the original cover-image. Also we show the optimality of our technique.

Data Hiding Techniques Using Prime and Natural Numbers

In this paper, a few novel data hiding techniques are proposed. These techniques are improvements over the classical LSB data hiding technique and the Fibonacci LSB data-hiding technique proposed by Battisti et al. [1]. The classical LSB technique is the simplest, but using this technique it is possible to embed only in first few bit-planes, since image quality becomes drastically distorted whe...

Improved Bit Plane Splicing LSB Technique for Secret Data Hiding in Images Using Linear Congruent Method

In this paper, we propose two algorithms based on the popular Bit Plane Splicing Least Significant Bit (LSB) Technique for secret data hiding inside images. One major disadvantage of Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique is its low hiding capacity which results in severe degradation of the cover image upon hiding large amount of data. The proposed algorithms overcome this issue by imposing hiding ru...

A Secure Data Hiding System

Data hiding is the process of embedding data into a media form such as image, voice, and video. The Lest Significant Bit (LSB) is consider as the most widely used embedding technique. LSB embeds the secret message's bits into the least significant bit plane of the image in a sequentially manner . The LSB is simple, but it poses some critical issues. The secret message is easily detected and att...

An Optimum Modified Bit Plane Splicing LSB Algorithm for Secret Data Hiding

In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Optimum Intensity Based Distributed Hiding (OIBDH) for secret data hiding inside cover images. The algorithm is a modified version of Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique with better hidden capacity and improved embedding process. The proposed algorithm outperforms Bit Plane Splicing LSB technique as more data can be hidden without degrading the quality...
