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.

Bengali Steganography using CALP with a Novel Bengali Word Processor

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel text steganography method for Bengali text generated through a new approach of BengaliText processor which uses the idea of structural and feature changing of the cover carrier which is visibly indistinguishable from the original to the human beings and may be modified for other India language also.

Security System for Sending Information Containing Hidden Voice Data by Steganography (SIOVE) Using Matlab

TL;DR: A solution is proposed that uses a system constructed in MATLAB that is able to hide voice signals in an image and carries a protected voice message within it to ensure the integrity of the data.

Secure Data Transmission using Encrypted Secret Message

TL;DR: This project is developing a system in which two techniques, steganography and cryptography are combined, which provides a strong backbone for its security and the secret message is encrypted before the actual embedding process starts.

Error bounds for convolutional codes and an asymptotically optimum decoding algorithm

TL;DR: The upper bound is obtained for a specific probabilistic nonsequential decoding algorithm which is shown to be asymptotically optimum for rates above R_{0} and whose performance bears certain similarities to that of sequential decoding algorithms.

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.
