의미 없는 커버 영상에 비밀 메시지를 몰래 숨겨 송/수신자간에 서로 비밀 통신을 할 수 있는 기술인 스테가노그라피 기법을 제안한다. 제안 방식은 커버 영상을 연속 두 픽셀 단위의 블록으로 나누고, 블록내 두 픽셀간의 차분 값과 양자화 범위를 이용하여 비밀 메시지를 은닉시킨다. 특히, 비밀 양자화 범위를 사용하기 때문에 제 3자에 의해 비밀 메시지가 해독되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 또한 제안 방식은 비밀 메시지가 삽입된 스테고 영상의 화질이 비가시적임을 다양한 영상을 이용하여 시험해 본 결과 그 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Visual cryptography is a scheme that recovers secret image through human vision by overlapping distributed share images without cryptographic operations. Distribution methods are still being developed for improving quality of shared images keeping size of images invariant and enhancing robustness against resize of images. Since visual cryptography only uses shared images, this fact is exploited to attack. From this fact, a scheme safe for sharing distributed images is needed. In this paper, a new visual cryptographic scheme using cover image is proposed. This scheme reduces the chance of detection against steganalysis and increases security. In addition, this paper shows that the proposed scheme can completely decrypt secret image without creating noise.

In this paper, a password recognition system that can overcome a shoulder-surfing attack is developed. During the time period of password insertion, the developed system can prevent the attack and enhance the safety of the password. In order to raise the detection rate of the password image, the mopology technique is utilized. By adapting 4 times of the expansion and dilation, the niose from the binary image of the password is removed. Finally, the mobile phone application is also developed to recognize the one time password and the detection rate is measured. It is shown that the detection rate of 90% is achieved under the dark light condition.

This paper proposes a high capacity data hiding method using high frequence secret data indexing algorithm. Many novel data hiding methods based on LSB and PVD methods were presented to enlarge hiding capacity and provide an imperceptible quality. In this paper, first, calculating data iteration frequency of the secret message and make up the high frequency data index matrix (HFDT) using high frequence data's location information. Next, HFDT uses to that data hiding process on the cover image and recovering process on the stego image. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed high frequency secret data indexing method. For the data hiding method, experiments are conducted for four cases: 2 pattern secret data (2PD), 4 pattern secret data (4PD), 8 pattern secret data (8PD) and higher pattern secret data (HPD). When comparing the proposed method with other data hiding methods, for the HPD case, the results show that the proposed method has a good PSNR and more capacity, and for the other case, the results show that the proposed method has a higher PSNR and larger capacity.

Binary images, such as cartoon character images, text images and signature images, which consist of two values with black and white have more difficulties inserting imperceptible secret data than color images. Steganography using binary cover images is not easy to satisfy requirements for both the imperceptibility of stego images and a high embedding rate of secret data at the same time. In this paper, we propose a scheme that can get both the high quality of stego images and a high embedding rate by supplementing the advantages of previous research. In addition, the insertion of the proposed method changes only existing pixels of the imperceptible position and can embed the secret data of [$log_2(mn+1)-2$] bits in a block with size of $m{\times}n$.

Steganography is a technique for secret data communication, which is not perceived by third person between a receiver and a transmitter. It has been developed for thousands of years for the transmission of military, diplomatic or business information. The development of digital media and communication has led to the development of steganography techniques in modern times. Technic of image steganography include the LSB, which fixes the number of embedded bits into a pixel, and PVD, which exploits the difference value in the neighboring pixel pairs. In the case of PVD image steganography, a large amount of information is embedded fluidly by difference value in neighboring pixel pairs and the designed range table. However, since the secret information in order is embedded, if an error of the number of embedded bits occurs in a certain pixel pair, all subsequent information will be destroyed. In this paper, we proposes the method, which improve the vulnerability of PVD property about external attack or various noise and extract secret information. Experimental process is comparison analysis about stego-image, which embedded various noise. PVD shows that it is not possible to preserve secret information at all about noise, but it was possible to robustly extract secret information for partial noise of stego-image in case of the proposed PVD image steganography with locally-fixed number of embedding bits.

스테가노그라피는 비밀 정보를 이미지나 오디오, 비디오 또는 텍스트 등 커버(cover) 라고 불리는 다른 미디어에 숨겨서 전송하는 방법으로 제 3자는 정보가 숨겨져 있다는 사실 자체를 알지 못하도록 하는 것이다. 대부분 영상 데이터를 이용하고 있으나, 제한된 색으로만 구성된 이진 영상 및 다치 영상의 경우 비시각적으로 비밀 정보를 숨기는 것이 일반 컬러 또는 그레이 영상에 비해 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 가중치 테이블을 사용하여 영상의 한 블록에 최대 2비트만을 변경시키면서 많은 양의 정보를 숨기는 방법을 제안한다.

Many steganography algorithms have been studied, and steganalysis for detecting stego images which steganography is applied to has also been studied in parallel. Especially, in the case of the image steganalysis, the features such as ALE, SPAM, and SRMQ are extracted from the statistical characteristics of the image, and stego images are classified by learning the classifier using various machine learning algorithms. However, these studies did not consider the effect of image size, aspect ratio, or message-embedding rate, and thus the features might not function normally for images with conditions different from those used in the their studies. In this paper, we analyze the classification rate of the SPAM-based image stegnalysis against variety image sizes aspect ratios and message-embedding rates and verify its versatility.

We presents a novel (2, 2) secret sharing (SS) scheme for all grayscale images. Generally, a secret image is distribute more than two shadow images, which are dealt out among participants. In order to find out secret image, participants print shadow images to transparent papers. Then, a secret image will appear as stacking transparent papers. The secret sharing scheme in this paper distribute secret image into natural grayscale images using multiplexer and data hiding scheme. After then, two participant have two shadow images respectively. The merit of the proposed scheme is that shadow images have small loss in aspect of the quality with steganographic features. Therefore, the proposed secret sharing scheme in this paper is not easily detected by attackers. The experiment result verified that the proposed scheme, obviously outperforms previous SS schemes.
