in this letter, we present a novel and extremely fast steganalysis method for voice over ip (voip) streams, driven by the need for a quick and accurate detection of possible steganography in VoIP streams. We firstly analyzed the correlations in carriers. To better exploit the correlations in code-words, we mapped vector quantization code-words into a semantic space. In order to achieve high detection efficiency, only one hidden layer was utilized to extract the correlations between these code-words. Finally, based on the extracted correlation features, we used the softmax classifier to categorize the input stream carriers. To boost the performance of this proposed model, we incorporate a simple knowledge distillation framework into the training process. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance both in detection accuracy and efficiency. In particular, the processing time of this method on average is only about 0.05% when sample length is as short as 0.1 s, attaching strong practical value to online serving of steganography monitor.
