Secure Steganography Technique Based on Bitplane Indexes

Multimedia 2020-04-28 v1

Abstract

This paper is concerned with secret hiding in multiple image bitplanes for increased security without undermining capacity. A secure steganographic algorithm based on bitplanes index manipulation is proposed. The index manipulation is confined to the first two Least Significant Bits of the cover image. The proposed algorithm has the property of un-detectability with respect to stego quality and payload capacity. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique is secure against statistical attacks such as pair of value (PoV), Weighted Stego steganalyser (WS), and Multi Bitplane Weighted Stego steganalyser (MLSB-WS).
