Steganalysis with a Computational Immune System

Research in steganalysis is motivated by the concern that communications associated with illicit activity could be hidden in seemingly innocent electronic transactions. By developing defensive tools before steganographic communication grows, computer security professionals will be better prepared for the threat. This paper proposes a computational immune system (CIS) approach to blind steganography detection. ⇤ The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not reflect the o cial policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.
