A Markov Process Based Approach to Effective Attacking JPEG Steganography

چکیده
In this paper, a new steganalysis scheme is presented to effectively detect the advanced JPEG steganography. For this purpose, we first choose to work on JPEG 2-D arrays formed from the magnitudes of JPEG quantized block DCT coefficients. Difference JPEG 2-D arrays along horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions are then used to enhance changes caused by JPEG steganography. Markov process is applied to modeling these difference JPEG 2-D arrays so as to utilize the second order statistics for steganalysis. In addition to the utilization of difference JPEG 2-D arrays, a thresholding technique is developed to greatly reduce the dimensionality of transition probability matrices, i.e., the dimensionality of feature vectors, thus making the computational complexity of the proposed scheme manageable. The experimental works are presented to demonstrate that the proposed scheme has outperformed the existing steganalyzers in attacking OutGuess, F5, and MB1.

Abstract: JPEG is the most applicable image format in digital communication. In recent years, various steganography methods have been proposed for it. This paper aims to study and classify JPEG steganography schemes and introduce different methods to improve their security based on cover. Accordingly, the effective factors in security that are related to the cover such as double compression, sp...

This paper presents a novel steganalysis scheme with highdimensional feature vectors derived from co-occurrence matrix in either spatial domain or JPEG coefficient domain, which is sensitive to data embedding process. The class-wise non-principal components analysis (CNPCA) is proposed to solve the problem of the classification in the high-dimensional feature vector space. The experimental resu...
متن کاملMerging Markov and DCT features for multi-class JPEG steganalysis
Blind steganalysis based on classifying feature vectors derived from images is becoming increasingly more powerful. For steganalysis of JPEG images, features derived directly in the embedding domain from DCT coefficients appear to achieve the best performance (e.g., the DCT features and Markov features). The goal of this paper is to construct a new multi-class JPEG steganalyzer with markedly im...
