A JPEG-based statistically invisible steganography
ICIMCS '11: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Internet Multimedia Computing and ServiceThe objective of steganography is to implement covert communication by hiding data in digital files such that there is no indication of the existence of hidden data; so an ideal steganographic system should be able to withstand all steganalysis methods--...
LSB-Based Steganography Using Reflected Gray Code
Steganography aims to hide secret data into an innocuous cover-medium for transmission and to make the attacker cannot recognize the presence of secret data easily. Even the stego-medium is captured by the eavesdropper, the slight distortion is hard to ...
Implementation of Least Significant Bit Steganography and statistical steganalysis
CCSEIT '12: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Computational Science, Engineering and Information TechnologyLeast Significant Bit (LSB) Steganography is a method for hidden information in such a way that can only be detected by its intended recipient. Steganography in Digital media becomes a challenging discipline, since the Human Auditory System (HAS) is ...
