“…This can be seen from the bifurcation diagram of the map as shown in Fig.1. Logistic map has been widely used in many scientific fields such as steganography [4,5,8,9,12,13] and cryptography [14,15,16,17,18] as a pseudo-random number generator.…”

“…Steganography methods generally use similar key to hide secret message and generate an output data called stego. Stego should be undetectable from the cover media in order to obscure the communication between the two sides [5]. The most popular and frequently used image steganography technique is LSB substitution [6].…”

Steganography is a science of security technique through invisible communication; hiding secret message into cover objects without any suspicion. Protection of the hidden information from an adversary is the main purpose of any steganography system even if the embedding method is obvious. In this paper, an effective image steganography system based on a least significant bit (LSB) algorithm and chaos is proposed. The proposed method contains a spatial domain technique in which the Logistic map is used for generating chaotic bitstream and bitwise XOR operation which is used to create control bit. Control bit determines whether the LSB of a specific pixel is changed or not according to the secret message. This provides direct manipulation over the pixels of the image with a very low precision hence enhances the system security. In this study, gray image is used as secret message and a larger scale image as cover image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is very efficient to detect LSB replacement in the algorithm. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is highly sensitive to the stego key parameters due to complex structure of chaos which provides high level of security in the whole system and effectively hides and detects the image information.

“…The essential feature of chaos (relevant to information security) is sensitivity to initial conditions, so that small changes in the input can cause large changes in the output. This feature is exploited for implementing information hiding techniques (Valandar et al, 2017). Mathematically, any chaotic map can be defined as in Equation 1 (Azou et al, 2002):…”

In this study, two techniques are introduced for image steganography in the spatial domain. These systems employ chaos theory to track the addresses of shuffled bits in steganography. The first system is based on the well-known LSB technique, while the second system is based on a recent approach that searches for the identical bits between the secret message and the cover image. A modified logistic map is employed in the chaotic map to generate integer chaotic series to extract the shuffled addresses bits. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), histogram analysis and correlative analysis are used for testing and evaluating the new levels of security for the proposed techniques. The results show that the proposed methods outperform existing systems.

“…A common important point in these subcategories is the hiddenness of the message, watermark, data, or information. In steganography methods, the goal is to transfer the information through an image securely and invisibly, so that embedding does not create tangible changes in the image and is not recognizable through steganalysis methods that attempt to detect whether carrying the message or not by an image [1][2][3].…”

In this paper, a robust and blind watermarking method is proposed, which is highly resistant to the common image watermarking attacks, such as noises, compression, and image quality enhancement processing. In this method, Arnold Cat map is used as a pre-processing on the host image, which increases the security and imperceptibility of embedding watermark bits with a strong gain factor. Moreover, two pseudo-noise strings with weak correlation are used as the symbol of each 0 or 1 bit of the watermark, which increases the accuracy in detecting the state of watermark bits at extraction phase in comparison to using two random pseudo-noise strings. In this method, to increase the robustness and further imperceptibility of the embedding, the Arnold Cat mapped image is subjected to non-overlapping blocking, and then the high frequency coefficients of the approximation sub-band of the FDCuT transform are used as the embedding location for each block. Comparison of the proposed method with recent robust methods under the same experimental conditions indicates the superiority of the proposed method.
