Abstract

A new steganography approach for data hiding is proposed. This approach uses the Least Significant Bits (LSB) insertion to hide data within encrypted image data. The binary representation of the hidden data is used to overwrite the LSB of each byte within the encrypted image randomly. Experimental results show that the correlation and entropy values of the encrypted image before the insertion are similar to the values of correlation and entropy after the insertion. Since the correlation and entropy have not changed, the method offers a good concealment for data in the encrypted image, and reduces the chance of the encrypted image being detected. The hidden data will be used to enable the receiver to reconstruct the same secret transformation table after extracting it and hence the original image can be reproduced by the inverse of the transformation and encryption processes.
