StegAnim-A Novel Information Hiding Technique using Animations
Gopalakrishna Reddy Tadiparthi, Toshiyuki Sueyoshi · 2006
Literature in the field of information hiding exhibits a number of steganographic techniques that conceal data effectively. But, conventional steganography utilizes data embedding in some form or the other that is not robust to simple manipulations of the stego-object. Since there are a lot of contemporary steganographic software available, there is a need for measuring the robustness the algorithms used by those software. This paper proposes a novel technique to hide information using animations as cover-object. We also propose a measure for the robustness of the steganographic technique. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed technique when applied to digital image steganography. Steganalytic attacks include resizing, sharpening, blurring, and insertion of noise into the stego-object.
