Adaptive Pseudo-Random Sequence Generation for Spread Spectrum Image Steganography
Abstract
In this article we consider the ways of data hiding in digital images with the use of pseudorandom sequences and the spread spectrum technique. We propose a new way of the generation of sequences, which considers statistical properties of cover-images. This makes it possible to achieve a low correlation, which provides reliable and safe data hiding in digital images. The results of experimental researches show, that the bit error rate in restored messages is significantly reduced. At the same time, the distortions of cover-images remain the same.
