Locating secret messages based on quantitative steganalysis.

Steganography poses a serious challenge to forensics because investigators cannot identify even traces of secret messages embedded using a steganographer. Contrarily, the objective of locating steganalysis is to locate the embedded message, which should help extract the secret message. In this paper, a methodology of locating steganalysis using quantitative steganalysis is presented for multiple stego images with embedded messages along the same embedding path.

A reversible database watermarking method with low distortion.

In this paper, a low distortion reversible database watermarking method based on histogram gap is proposed in view of the large gap in histogram of database integer data. By using the method, the tolerance of the attribute column containing all integer data is firstly calculated and the prediction error is obtained according to the tolerance. Then according to the watermark bits to be embedded, the database tuples will be randomly grouped and the histogram can be constructed by using the prediction error.
