The dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme embeds secret data into two images to increase the embedding capacity of secret data. The dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme can transmit a lot of secret data. Therefore, various schemes have been proposed until recently. In 2021, Chen and Hong proposed a dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme that embeds a large amount of secret data using a reference matrix, secret data, and bit values. However, in this paper, more secret data can be embedded than Chen and Hong's scheme. To achieve this goal, the proposed scheme generates polynomials and shared values using secret sharing scheme, and embeds secret data using reference matrix and septenary number, and random value. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can transmit more secret data to the receiver while maintaining the image quality similar to other dual image-based reversible data hiding schemes.

In this paper, we propose a (2,2)-reversible secret image sharing scheme using histogram shifting and difference expansion. Two techniques are widely used in information hiding. Advantages of them are the low distortion between cover and stego images, and high embedding capacity. In secret image sharing procedure, unlike Shamir's secret sharing, a histogram generate that the difference value between the original image and copy image is computed by difference expansion. And then, the secret image is embedded into original and copy images by using histogram shifting. Lastly, two generated shadow images are distributed to each participant by the dealer. In the experimental results, we measure a capacity of a secret image and a distortion ratio between original image and shadow image. The results show that the embedding capacity and image distortion ratio of the proposed scheme are superior to the previous schemes.

Data hiding is a way to hide the information in multimedia media such as images or video. The scheme proposed by Nguyen and Chang, was able to embed, extract, and restore the cover image and the secret data using Sudoku. But in the extracting phase, the occurrence of duplicate values in the reference matrix was found to decrease the embedding capacity of secret data. This paper has proposed a reversible data hiding scheme while maintaining the quality of the image to provide high embedding capacity using $7{\times}7$ Sudoku and Shamir's secret sharing scheme.

This paper proposes a novel reversible secret sharing scheme using AES algorithm in encrypted images. In the proposed scheme, a role of the dealer is divided into an image provider and a data hider. The image provider encrypts the cover image with a shared secret key and sends it to the dealer. The dealer embeds the secret data into the encrypted image and transmits encrypted shadow images to the corresponding participants. We utilize Galois polynomial arithmetic operation over 2⁸ and the coefficient of the higher-order term is fixed to one in order to prevent the overflow. In experimental results, we demonstrate that the PSNR is sustained close to 44dB and the embedding capacity is 524,288 bits.

2010년, Lin과 Chan은 가역 비밀이미지 공유(reversible secret image sharing) 기법을 최초로 제안했다. 이 기법의 장점은 쉐도우 이미지(shadow images)의 왜곡 비율(distortion ratio)이 작고, 비밀이미지의 삽입량(embedding capacity)이 기존의 기법들에 비해 높으며, 가역(reversible)이 가능하다. 그러나 그들의 기법은 몇 가지 문제점들이 존재한다. 첫째, 나머지 연산(modular operation)에 사용하는 소수 m에 의하여 전체 참가자들의 수가 제한된다. 둘째, 비밀 공유 과정 내 양자화 값(quantized value)과 다항식의 결과 값의 덧셈 연산에서 오버플로우(overflow)가 발생한다. 마지막으로, 다항식 최고차항의 계수가 0이 되어 t-1명의 참가자로도 비밀데이터 접근이 가능해지는 문제점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 Lin과 Chan이 제안한 기법의 문제점을 해결하는 동시에 쉐도우 이미지의 왜곡 비율이 작고 비밀 이미지의 삽입량을 향상시키는 기법을 제안한다. GF($2^8$)상에서의 다항식 연산을 통해 전체 참가자 수의 제한과 오버플로우 문제를 해결하고, 다항식 최고차항의 계수 중 MSB 4-비트를 고정하는 방법을 적용하여 계수가 0이 될 수 있는 문제점을 해결한다. 실험결과에서는 Lin과 Chan의 기법에서 PSNR과 삽입량이 서로 반비례하지만 제안한 기법의 경우 삽입량이 증가하더라도 PSNR은 45dB 이상으로 유지됨을 알 수 있다.
