Traditional image steganography often leans interests towards safely embedding hidden information into cover images with payload capacity almost neglected. This paper combines recent deep convolutional neural network methods with image-into-image steganography. It successfully hides the same size images with a decoding rate of 98.2 or bpp (bits per pixel) of 23.57 by changing only 0.76 of the cover image on average. Our method directly learns end-to-end mappings between the cover image and the embedded image and between the hidden image and the decoded image. We further show that our embedded image, while with mega payload capacity, is still robust to statistical analysis.
Since the least significant bits of the image data should look like random data, there are major two schemes in distributing the hiding data. The first kind of methods is to put in the hiding message sequentially after encrypting or compressing to achieve the randomness. The second kind of methods is scattering the hiding data by adopting a mutually acknowledged random seed by which generates the actual hiding sequence @cite_39 .

Steganography is the practice of concealing a secret message within another, ordinary, message. Commonly, steganography is used to unobtrusively hide a small message within the noisy regions of a larger image. In this study, we attempt to place a full size color image within another image of the same size. Deep neural networks are simultaneously trained to create the hiding and revealing processes and are designed to specifically work as a pair. The system is trained on images drawn randomly from the ImageNet database, and works well on natural images from a wide variety of sources. Beyond demonstrating the successful application of deep learning to hiding images, we carefully examine how the result is achieved and explore extensions. Unlike many popular steganographic methods that encode the secret message within the least significant bits of the carrier image, our approach compresses and distributes the secret image's representation across all of the available bits. This paper discusses the design of a Robust image steganography technique based on LSB (Least Significant Bit) insertion and RSA encryption technique. Steganography is the term used to describe the hiding of data in images to avoid detection by attackers. Steganalysis is the method used by attackers to determine if images have hidden data and to recover that data. The application discussed in this paper ranks images in a users library based on their suitability as cover objects for some data. By matching data to an image, there is less chance of an attacker being able to use steganalysis to recover the data. Before hiding the data in an image the application first encrypts it. The steganography method proposed in this paper and illustrated by the application is superior to that used by current steganography tools. In many situations, such as in biometric applications, there is need to encrypt and “hide” data, while simultaneously permitting restricted computations on them. We present a method to securely determine the 2 distance between two signals if they are close enough. This method relies on a locality sensitive hashing scheme based on a secure modular embedding, computed using quantized random projections, being a generalization of previous work in the area. Secure Modular Hashes (SMH) extracted from the signals preserve information about the distance between the signals, hiding other characteristic from the signals. Theoretical properties state that the described scheme provides a mechanism to threshold how much information to reveal, and is also information theoretically secure above this threshold. Finally, experimental results reveal that distances computed from SMH vectors can effectively replace the actual Euclidean distances with minimal degradation. In many applications, wireless sensor networks need to secure information. Actual researchs found efficient solutions for this kind of network, principally by using cryptography to secure the data transfer. However an encrypted information send by the network can be sufficient to preventan attacker, who eavesdrops the network, that somethingimportant has been detected. To avoid this situation, we propose another way to secure wireless sensor networks by using steganography, specifically by hiding data in the MAC layer of the 802.15.4 protocol. We show that this solution can be an energy-efficient way with a good latency to hide data in a wireless sensor network.
