Advanced Steganography and Watermarking Techniques

We present a novel lossless (reversible) data-embedding technique, which enables the exact recovery of the original host signal upon extraction of the embedded information. A generalization of the well-known least significant bit (LSB) modification is proposed as the data-embedding method, which introduces additional…

We present techniques for steganalysis of images that have been potentially subjected to steganographic algorithms, both within the passive warden and active warden frameworks. Our hypothesis is that steganographic schemes leave statistical evidence that can be exploited for detection with the aid of image quality fea…

Several fragile watermarking schemes presented in the literature are either vulnerable to vector quantization (VQ) counterfeiting attacks or sacrifice localization accuracy to improve security. Using a hierarchical structure, we propose a method that thwarts the VQ attack while sustaining the superior localization pro…

In this work, we focus our interest on blind source camera identification problem by extending our results in the direction of M. Kharrazi et al. (2004). The interpolation in the color surface of an image due to the use of a color filter array (CFA) forms the basis of the paper. We propose to identify the source camer…

We present a novel framework for lossless (invertible) authentication watermarking, which enables zero-distortion reconstruction of the un-watermarked images upon verification. As opposed to earlier lossless authentication methods that required reconstruction of the original image prior to validation, the new framewor…

In this paper we suggest viewing images (as well as attacks on them) as a sequence of linear operators and propose novel hashing algorithms employing transforms that are based on matrix invariants. To derive this sequence, we simply cover a two dimensional representation of an image by a sequence of (possibly overlapp…

A blockchain is a distributed, digitized and consensus-based secure information storage mechanism. The present article provides an overview of blockchain based e-voting systems. The primary purpose of this review is to study the up-to-date state of blockchain-based voting research along with associated possible challe…
