FPGA Hardware Architecture of the Steganographic ConText Technique
Edgar Gomez-Hernandez, Claudia Feregrino-Uribe, René Cumplido · 2008
This work presents a hardware architecture of the ConText steganographic technique in a Cyclone II FPGA of the Altera family. The ConText technique takes advantage of noisy regions and those with abrupt gray levels changes in an image where the hidden information is very difficult to detect; the process to locate this region is highly repetitive and computationally expensive. The technique is implemented in an FPGA to increase the processing speed. The implementation results show a throughput of 61.5 Mbps.
