Influence of embedding strategies on security of steganographic methods in the JPEG domain

چکیده
In this paper, we study how specific design principles and elements of steganographic schemes for the JPEG format influence their security. Our goal is to shed some light on how the choice of the embedding operation and domain, adaptive selection channels, and syndrome coding influence statistical detectability. In the experimental part of this paper, the detectability is evaluated using a state-of-the-art blind steganalyzer and the results are contrasted with several adhoc detectability measures, such as the embedding distortion. We also report the first results of our steganalysis of the recently proposed YASS algorithm and compare its security to other steganographic methods for the JPEG format.

Peak-Shaped-Based Steganographic Technique for JPEG Images
A novel model-based steganographic technique for JPEG images is proposed where the model, derived from heuristic assumptions about the shape of the DCT frequency histograms, is dependent on a stegokey. The secret message is embedded in DCT domain through an accurate selection of the potentially modifiable coefficients, taking into account their visual and statistical relevancy. A novel block me...
متن کاملFurther study on YASS: steganography based on randomized embedding to resist blind steganalysis
We present further extensions of yet another steganographic scheme (YASS), a method based on embedding data in randomized locations so as to resist blind steganalysis. YASS is a JPEG steganographic technique that hides data in the discrete cosing transform (DCT) coefficients of randomly chosen image blocks. Continuing to focus on JPEG image steganography, we present, in this paper, a further st...
متن کاملAn extended feature set for blind image steganalysis in contourlet domain
The aim of image steganalysis is to detect the presence of hidden messages in stego images. We propose a blind image steganalysis method in Contourlet domain and then show that the embedding process changes statistics of Contourlet coefficients. The suspicious image is transformed into Contourlet space, and then the statistics of Contourlet subbands coefficients are extracted as features. We us...

متن کاملData Hiding in Digital Images : A Steganographic Paradigm
In this thesis a study on the Steganographic paradigm of data hiding has been presented. The problem of data hiding has been attacked from two directions. The first approach tries to overcome the Targeted Steganalytic Attacks. The work focuses mainly on the first order statistics based targeted attacks. Two algorithms have been presented which can preserve the first order statistics of an image...
