Abstract

Supraliminal channels are robust public channels based on multimedia content, allowing innocuous key exchange in the presence of an active warden. One approach to supraliminal communication embeds bits in the pseudo-random state used to produce computer-generated special effects in hybrid media such as a videoconferencing session.

In this paper we describe an application for wireless phones whose audio effects betray pseudo-random state and hence potential key information for an innocuous exchange protocol. Implementation of a walkie-talkie application for the Apple iPhone shows that hundreds of bits can be reliably transmitted per effect.

A steganographic method based upon JPEG and quantization table modification
Special issue: Intelligent multimedia computing and networking

In this paper, a novel steganographic method based on joint photographic expert-group (JPEG) is proposed. The proposed method modifies the quantization table first. Next, the secret message is hidden in the cover-image with its middle-frequency of the ...
An adaptive steganographic method based on the measurement of just noticeable distortion profile

This paper presents an adaptive steganographic method based on just noticeable distortion (JND) profile measurement. According to the input requirements, our method can produce a higher quality or higher embedding capacity stego-image. In the embedding ...
Application of a generalized difference expansion based reversible audio data hiding algorithm

In this paper, a generalized difference expansion based reversible audio data hiding algorithm is proposed and a recommended application is introduced. The proposed algorithm is built on top of a recently proposed reversible image watermarking scheme. ...
