Reversible data hiding (RDH) is one special type of information hiding, by which the host sequence as well as the embedded data can be both restored from the marked sequence without loss. Beside media annotation and integrity…

With the rapid development of various multimedia technologies, more and more multimedia data are generated and transmitted in the medical, commercial, and military fields, which may include some sensitive information which should not be…

In this paper, we propose a reversible data hiding method in the spatial domain for compressed grayscale images. The proposed method embeds secret bits into a compressed thumbnail of the original image by using a novel interpolation method…

An accurate predictor is crucial for histogram-shifting (HS) based reversible data hiding methods. The embedding capacity is increased and the embedding distortion is decreased simultaneously if the predictor can generate accurate…

A method of lossless data hiding in images using integer wavelet transform and histogram shifting for gray scale images is proposed. The method shifts part of the histogram, to create space for embedding the watermark information bits. The…

Data compression has been widely applied in many data processing areas. Compression methods use variable-size codes with the shorter codes assigned to symbols or groups of symbols that appear in the data frequently. Fibonacci coding, as a…

We expand on our work on Quantum Data Hiding -- hiding classical data among parties who are restricted to performing only local quantum operations and classical communication (LOCC). We review our scheme that hides one bit between two…

Digital steganography is becoming a common tool for protecting sensitive communications in various applications such as crime(terrorism) prevention whereby law enforcing personals need to remotely compare facial images captured at the scene…

This paper presents a survey of text steganography methods used for hid- ing secret information inside some covertext. Widely known hiding techniques (such as translation based steganography, text generating and syntactic embed- ding) and…

In this contribution we propose a novel steganographic method based on several orthogonal polynomials and their combinations. The steganographic algorithm embeds a secrete message at the first eight coefficients of high frequency image.…

mage steganography is the process of hiding information which can be text, image, or video inside a cover image. The advantage of steganography over cryptography is that the intended secret message does not attract attention and is thus…

Steganography and Cryptography are two popular ways of sending vital information in a secret way. One hides the existence of the message and the other distorts the message itself. There are many cryptography techniques available; among them…

This work proposes a high-capacity scheme for separable reversible data hiding in encrypted images. At the sender side, the original uncompressed image is encrypted using an encryption key. One or several data hiders use the MSB of some…

We propose an efficient framework of reversible data hiding to preserve compatibility between normal printing and printing with a special color ink by using a single common image. The special color layer is converted to a binary image by…

Binary embedding is a nonlinear dimension reduction methodology where high dimensional data are embedded into the Hamming cube while preserving the structure of the original space. Specifically, for an arbitrary $N$ distinct points in…

Digital steganography or data hiding has emerged as a new area of research in connection to the communication in secured channel as well as intellectual property protection for multimedia signals. The redundancy in image representation can…

Due to the widespread of advanced digital imaging devices, forgery of digital images became more serious attack patterns. In this attack scenario, the attacker tries to manipulate the digital image to conceal some meaningful information of…

The hurried development of multimedia and internet allows for wide distribution of digital media data. It becomes much easier to edit, modify and duplicate digital information. In additional, digital document is also easy to copy and…

In recent years, reversible data hiding (RDH), a new research hotspot in the field of information security, has been paid more and more attention by researchers. Most of the existing RDH schemes do not fully take it into account that…
