A Reversible Data Hiding with Quality Controllable Scheme for Encrypted-Compressed Image

Abstract

In order to achieve image encryption and data embedding simultaneously, a reversible data hiding (RDH) algorithm for encrypted-compressed image in wavelet domain is proposed. This scheme employs the quality controllable parameter. Moreover it has larger embedding capacity and smaller quality control parameters than other methods in literatures. Meanwhile, the cross chaotic map is employed to generate chaotic sequences, and the total keys of the algorithm is far large. Experimental results and comparisons show that the proposed scheme has large capacity, high security, and strong resistance to brute-force.
