Spread spectrum image steganography

TLDR
A new method of digital Steganography, entitled spread spectrum image steganography (SSIS), which hides and recovers a message of substantial length within digital imagery while maintaining the original image size and dynamic range.
Abstract
We present a new method of digital steganography, entitled spread spectrum image steganography (SSIS). Steganography, which means "covered writing" in Greek, is the science of communicating in a hidden manner. Following a discussion of steganographic communication theory and review of existing techniques, the new method, SSIS, is introduced. This system hides and recovers a message of substantial length within digital imagery while maintaining the original image size and dynamic range. The hidden message can be recovered using appropriate keys without any knowledge of the original image. Image restoration, error-control coding, and techniques similar to spread spectrum are described, and the performance of the system is illustrated. A message embedded by this method can be in the form of text, imagery, or any other digital signal. Applications for such a data-hiding scheme include in-band captioning, covert communication, image tamperproofing, authentication, embedded control, and revision tracking.

Application notification and service selection using in-band signals

TL;DR: In-band signaling may be used between two stations to determine the capabilities of the stations and/or send actionable information between the stations participating in the call as mentioned in this paper, where the receiving station detects and reacts to the in-band signals, then both stations can pass control information and data as well as enhancements between each other.

Distributed decoding of digitally encoded media signals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a distributed processing in which a first device receives and pre-processes the signal, and transmits it to a remote device for further decoding.

Secure spread spectrum watermarking for multimedia

TL;DR: It is argued that insertion of a watermark under this regime makes the watermark robust to signal processing operations and common geometric transformations provided that the original image is available and that it can be successfully registered against the transformed watermarked image.
