Data hiding embeds extra information into digital media for the purpose of authentication, annotation and copyright protection. Transparency and robustness are two contradictory requirements for any data hiding scheme. This paper studies audio data hiding using spread spectrum(SS) technique in subband domain. On transparency part, we propose a novel method of tuning psycho-acoustic models emplo...

association rules are among important techniques in data mining which are used for extracting hidden patterns and knowledge in large volumes of data. association rules help individuals and organizations take strategic decisions and improve their business processes. extracted association rules from a database contain important and confidential information that if published, the privacy of indivi...

With the rapid development of various multimedia technologies, more and more multimedia data are generated and transmitted in the medical, commercial, and military fields, which may include some sensitive information which should not be accessed by or can only be partially exposed to the general users. Therefore, security and privacy has become an important issue. Many researchers have proposed...

In view of the phenomenon that data-hiding algorithm is easy to be detected by inspecting tool SPAM when carrying information, random insertion and histogram modification are adapted in the data hiding. A data-reversible hiding algorithm in WSNs is put forward. By collecting and referring sub-graph, calculating data fusion algorithm that can protect the data’s completion and privacy and analyzi...

Data hiding is a technique used to embed a sequence of bits in a host image with small visual deterioration and the means to extract it afterwards. Reversible data hiding allows, in addition, recovering the original cover-image exactly. Several reversible data hiding techniques have been developed but none of them seems to be appropriate for binary images. This paper proposes a reversible data ...

In this article, a new Bose-Chaudhuri-Hochquenghem (BCH)-based data hiding scheme for JPEG steganography is presented. Traditional data hiding approaches hide data into each block, where all the blocks are not overlapping each other. However, in the proposed method, two consecutive blocks can be overlapped to form a combined block which is larger than a single block, but smaller than two consec...

A new method for high capacity data hiding in H.264 streams is presented. The proposed method takes advantage of the different block sizes used by the H.264 encoder during the inter prediction stage in order to hide the desirable data. It is a blind data hiding scheme, i.e. the message can be extracted directly from the encoded stream without the need of the original host video. This fragile da...

A lossless large-volume data hiding method based on histogram shifting is proposed. The method is based on a scheme of hierarchically dividing a cover image into smaller blocks for data embedding using the histogram shifting technique, which yields a large data hiding capacity and results in a high stego-image quality. A technique for recursive looking-ahead estimation of the maximum data hidin...

Information-theoretic analysis for data hiding prescribe embedding the hidden data in the choice of quantizer for the host data. In this paper, we consider a suboptimal implementation of this prescription, with a view to hiding high volumes of data in images with low perceptual degradation. The three main findings are as follows: (i) Scalar quantization based data hiding schemes incur about 2 d...

Hiding information destroys the host image even though the distortion introduced by hiding is imperceptible to the human visual system. Reversible data hiding techniques are designed to solve the problem of lossless embedding of large messages in digital images so that after the embedded message is extracted, the image can be restored completely to its original state before embedding occurred. ...
