Steganography based on parameters’ disturbance of spatial image transform by Xi SUN, Wei-ming ZHANG, Neng-hai YU, Yao WEI

“…In the research of state-of-the-art steganography algorithms,most of image sources were natural images in laboratory environment.However,with the rapid development of image process tools and applications,images after image processing were widely used in real world.How to use image process to improve steganography has not been systematically studied.Taking spatial image transform for consideration,a parameters’ disturbance model was presented,which could hide the noise taken by steganography in the pixel fluctuation due to the disturbance.Meanwhile,it would introduce cover source mismatch for a steganalyzer.The experimental results show that,compared with using traditional image database,it can significantly enhance the security of steganography algorithms and accommodative to the real world situation.…”

Lightweight integrity verification scheme for cloud based group data by Yun-fei LIU, Yong-jun WANG, UShao-jing F

“…In order to protect the security of the data stored in the cloud by group users,a data integrity verification scheme was designed which can protect the privacy of the group users.The scheme can efficiently detect the shared data in the cloud and support the dynamic updating of the data,and use the characteristic of the ring signature to hide the iden-tity of the signer corresponding to the data block.That is,the third-party verifier can not spy on the users identity and other private information when validating.The aggregated approach is used to generate data labels,which reduces the storage cost of labels and supports the dynamic operation of group data,so that the users in the group can easily modify the cloud group data.…”

DGANS:robustness image steganography model based on double GAN by Leqing ZHU, Yu GUO, Lingqiang MO, Daxing ZHANG

“…Deep convolutional neural networks can be effectively applied to large-capacity image steganography,but the research on their robustness is rarely reported.The DGANS (double-GAN-based steganography) applies the deep learning framework in image steganography,which is optimized to resist small geometric distortions so as to improve the model’s robustness.DGANS is made up of two consecutive generative adversarial networks that can hide a grayscale image into another color or grayscale image of the same size and can restore it later.The generated stego-images are augmented and used to further train and strengthen the reveal network so as to make it adaptive to small geometric distortion of input images.Experimental results suggest that DGANS can not only realize high-capacity image steganography,but also can resist geometric attacks within certain range,which demonstrates better robustness than similar models.…”

New construction of secure range query on encrypted data in cloud computing by Shao-hui WANG, Zhi-jie HAN, Dan-wei CHEN, Ru-chuan WANG

“…To solve the information leakage problem resulting from several assertions of previous range query solutions,there is a secure range query scheme with one assertion (SRQSAE scheme),and the scheme is claimed to be secure against ciphertext-only attack.The security analysis on SRQSAE scheme is presented,and it shows SRQSAE scheme can not hide the size of search keyword.A new scheme of secure range query on encrypted data is proposed through introducing random numbers in the generation of search index and trapdoor.The new scheme can provide the privacy guarantee on search range and search keyword,and it achieves high level needs of security without losing efficiency.…”

Watermarking algorithm for image authentication based on second generation Bandelet by LIU Xu-chong1, LUO Yong1, WANG Jian-xin1, WANG Jie1

“…A watermarking algorithm for image authentication was designed,which was based on second generation Bandelet translation and statistical model.The image directional flow was constructed by using Bandelet,and it could depict the characteristic of the image.By applying noise visibility function,the noise visibility intensity algorithm which was based on Gaussian statistical models was proposed.The blocks of image which contain more texture information were selected to hide the image directional flow,based on the noise visibility intensity algorithm.The image was authen-ticated through comparing the hiding information and the carrier image directional flow created by Bandelet.Experimen-tal results show that the algorithm can resist the JPEG compression and noise attack strongly and guarantee the quality of the sight.It is a blind detection algorithm,and this algorithm has high concealment performance and security.…”
