Abstract

A fully automated, blind, media-type agnostic approach to steganalysis is presented here. Steganography may sometimes be exposed by detecting automatically characterized regularities in output media caused by weak implementations of steganography algorithms. Fast and accurate detection of steganography is demonstrated experimentally here across a range of media types and a variety of steganography approaches.

The objective of steganography is to implement covert communication by hiding data in digital files such that there is no indication of the existence of hidden data; so an ideal steganographic system should be able to withstand all steganalysis methods--...
