Linguistic Steganography Detection Using Statistical Characteristics of Correlations between Words
نویسندگان
چکیده
Linguistic steganography is a branch of Information Hiding (IH) using written natural language to conceal secret messages. It plays an important role in Information Security (IS) area. Previous work on linguistic steganography was mainly focused on steganography and there were few researches on attacks against it. In this paper, a novel statistical algorithm for linguistic steganography detection is presented. We use the statistical characteristics of correlations between the general service words gathered in a dictionary to classify the given text segments into stego-text segments and normal text segments. In the experiment of blindly detecting the three different linguistic steganography approaches: Markov-Chain-Based, NICETEXT and TEXTO, the total accuracy of discovering stego-text segments and normal text segments is found to be 97.19%. Our results show that the linguistic steganalysis based on correlations between words is promising.

نهانکاوی در تصاویر JPEG بر مبنای دستهبندی ویژگیهای آماری و تصمیمگیری دو مرحلهای
Abstract In this paper, we propose a comprehensive steganalysis scheme for JPEG images. In this method, the optimized features which can interpret high distinction between cover and stego images are extracted from images. These features have been selected after a careful study on modifications caused by different steganography algorithms on statistical characteristics of images. Furthermore, us...
متن کاملDetection of substitution-based linguistic steganography by relative frequency analysis
Linguistic steganography hides information in natural language texts. Because of the increasing in importance and quantity of natural language texts, linguistic steganography plays a more and more important role in Information Security (IS) area today. Substitutionbased linguistic steganography is one of the most commonly used linguistic steganography methods, which is of considerable security ...
متن کاملAn Information- Theoretical Model for Streaming Media Based Stegosystems
Steganography in streaming media differs from steganography in images or audio files because of the continuous embedding process and the necessary synchronization of sender and receiver due to packet loss in streaming media. The conventional theoretical model for image steganography is not appropriate for explaining the security scenarios for streaming media based stegosystems. In this paper, w...
متن کاملDetection of perturbed quantization (PQ) steganography based on empirical matrix
Perturbed Quantization (PQ) steganography scheme is almost undetectable with the current steganalysis methods. We present a new steganalysis method for detection of this data hiding algorithm. We show that the PQ method distorts the dependencies of DCT coefficient values; especially changes much lower than significant bit planes. For steganalysis of PQ, we propose features extraction from the e...
متن کاملLinguistic Steganography: Survey, Analysis, and Robustness Concerns for Hiding Information in Text
Steganography is an ancient art. With the advent of computers, we have vast accessible bodies of data in which to hide information, and increasingly sophisticated techniques with which to analyze and recover that information. While much of the recent research in steganography has been centered on hiding data in images, many of the solutions that work for images are more complicated when applied...
