Steganography (literally meaning covered writing) is the art and science of embedding secret message into seemingly harmless message. Stenography is practice from olden days where in ancient Greece people used wooden blocks to inscribe secret data and cover the date with wax and write normal message on it. Today stenography is used in various field like multimedia, networks, medical, military etc. With increasing technology trends steganography is becoming more and more advanced where people not only interested on hiding messages in multimedia data (cover data) but also at the receiving end they are willing to obtain original cover data without any distortion after extracting secret message. This paper will discuss few irreversible data hiding techniques and also, some recently proposed reversible data hiding approach using images.

Data hiding is referred to as the art of hiding secret data into a digital cover for covert communication. In this letter, we propose a novel method to disguise data hiding tools, including a data embedding tool and a data extraction tool, as a deep neural network (DNN) with an ordinary task. After training a DNN for both style transfer and data hiding, while the DNN can transfer the style of an image to a target one, it can be also used to hide secret data into a cover image or extract secret data from a stego image by inputting the trigger signal. In other words, the tools of data hiding are hidden to avoid arousing suspicion.
Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDH-EI) has attracted increasing attention, since it can protect the privacy of original images while the embedded data can be exactly extracted. Recently, some RDH-EI schemes with multiple data hiders have been proposed using secret sharing technique. However, these schemes protect the contents of the original images with lightweight security level. In this paper, we propose a high-security RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders. First, we introduce a cipher-feedback secret sharing (CFSS) technique. It follows the cryptography standards by introducing the cipher-feedback strategy of AES. Then, using the CFSS technique, we devise a new (r,n)-threshold (r<=n) RDH-EI scheme with multiple data hiders called CFSS-RDHEI. It can encrypt an original image into n encrypted images with reduced size using an encryption key and sends each encrypted image to one data hider. Each data hider can independently embed secret data into the encrypted image to obtain the corresponding marked encrypted image. The original image can be completely recovered from r marked encrypted images and the encryption key. Performance evaluations show that our CFSS-RDHEI scheme has high embedding rate and its generated encrypted images are much smaller, compared to existing secret sharing-based RDH-EI schemes. Security analysis demonstrates that it can achieve high security to defense some commonly used security attacks.
Reversible data hiding in encrypted images is an eff ective technique for data hiding and preserving image privacy. In this paper, we propose a novel schema based on polynomial arithmetic, which achieves a high embedding capacity with the perfect recovery of the original image. An effi cient two-layer symmetric en- cryption method is applied to protect the privacy of the original image. One polynomial is generated by the encryption key and a group of the encrypted pixel, and the secret data is mapped into another polynomial. Through the arithmetic of these two polynomials, the purpose of this work is achieved. Fur- thermore, pixel value mapping is designed to reduce the size of auxiliary data, which can further improve embedding capacity. Experimental results demon- strate that our solution has a stable and good performance on various images. Compared with some state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method can get better decrypted image quality with a large embedding capacity.
Reversible data hiding in encrypted domain (RDH-ED) schemes based on symmetric or public key encryption are mainly applied to the security of end-to-end communication. Aimed at providing reliable technical supports for multi-party security scenarios, a separable RDH-ED scheme for secret image sharing based on Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is presented. In the application of (t, n) secret image sharing, the image is first shared into n different shares of ciphertext. Only when not less than t shares obtained, can the original image be reconstructed. In our scheme, additional data could be embedded into the image shares. To realize data extraction from the image shares and the reconstructed image separably, two data hiding methods are proposed: one is homomorphic difference expansion in encrypted domain (HDE-ED) that supports data extraction from the reconstructed image by utilizing the addition homomorphism of CRT secret sharing; the other is difference expansion in image shares (DE-IS) that supports the data extraction from the marked shares before image reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could not only maintain the security and the threshold function of secret sharing system, but also obtain a better reversibility and efficiency compared with most existing RDH-ED algorithms. The maximum embedding rate of HDE-ED could reach 0.5000 bits per pixel and the average embedding rate of DE-IS is 0.0545 bits per bit of ciphertext.
H.264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC) is one of the most commonly used video compression standard currently. In this paper, we propose a Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) method based on H.264/AVC videos. In the proposed method, the macroblocks with intra-frame $4times 4$ prediction modes in intra frames are first selected as embeddable blocks. Then, the last zero Quantized Discrete Cosine Transform (QDCT) coefficients in all $4times 4$ blocks of the embeddable macroblocks are paired. In the following, a modification mapping rule based on making full use of modification directions are given. Finally, each zero coefficient-pair is changed by combining the given mapping rule with the to-be-embedded information bits. Since most of last QDCT coefficients in all $4times 4$ blocks are zero and they are located in high frequency area. Therefore, the proposed method can obtain high embedding capacity and low distortion.
