Applications of Data Hiding in Digital Images 自動化資訊處理實驗室 報告人:李惠龍 * Outline Introduction Difference between cryptography and steganography Applications Covert communication Digital watermarking Watermarking for tamper detection and authentication Our application * Steganography The art of concealed communication Hiding of secret messages within another message (or carrier) Make info. imperceptible Keep existence of info. secret * Difference between cryptography and steganography Cryptography: Protect the content of messages Scramble data such that it is unreadable Ciphertext attracts attackers for decryption Steganography: Conceal the existence of messages Hide data in another data Hide the existence of communication Stegotext minimizes attackers’ interest * Difference between cryptography and steganography A secure crypto-system One in which an adversary who understands the system, but does not know the key, can not recover the data A secure stego-system One where an adversary who understands the system, but does not know the key, can obtain no evidence that a communication has taken place * Robustness The ability to extract hidden information after common image processing operations: linear and nonlinear filters, lossy compression, contrast adjustment, recoloring, resampling, scaling, rotation, noise adding, cropping, printing / copying / scanning, D/A and A/D conversion, pixel permutation in small neighborhood, color quantization (as in palette images), skipping rows / columns, adding rows / columns, frame swapping, frame averaging (temporal averaging), etc. Undetectability Impossibility to prove the presence of a hidden message. This concept is inherently tied to the statistical model of the carrier image. The ability to detect the presence does not automatically imply the ability to read the hidden message. Undetectability should not be mistaken for invisibility ? a concept related to human perception. Invisibility Perceptual transparency. This concept
