Abstract

In this paper, a new steganographic algorithm is proposed where embedding is done by swapping two randomly chosen pixels in a gray scale cover image. Proposed steganographic scheme inherently preserves first order image statistics such as image histogram and thus remains undetectable against histogram based spatial domain steganalytic attacks. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme clearly outperforms LSB matching and its improved version against existing targeted attacks. The proposed scheme also remains almost undetectable against wavelet absolute moment based blind attack at low embedding rates for never compressed image dataset.KeywordsReceiver Operating Characteristic CurveCover ImageSecret MessagePseudorandom SequenceStego ImageThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
