“…Recently, it has been shown that the genome of a genetically tractable organism can be used as a medium for data hiding depending on the required application [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The coding DNA of a gene is transcribed by codons of three nucleotide bases that specify amino acids to encode proteins.…”

“…Rapid progress in synthesizing defined strings of DNA and sequencing the data saved in DNA has enhanced the feasibility of DNA storage. In addition to DNA storage [1][2][3], DNA steganography for secret communication or encryption using noncoding DNA sequences [4][5][6] has been widely studied for decades. Recent years have witnessed the use of coding DNA sequences to investigate DNA watermarking for tracking parent genes in offspring or genetically modified organisms and for protecting DNA copyright [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Furthermore, reversible data hiding for DNA storage, steganography, or watermarking is necessary to recover an original DNA sequence without loss of information. However, most methods [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] are irreversible. In addition to facilitating original DNA recovery, reversible DNA data hiding can prevent DNA forgery and mutations from external data, and the mutation process can be analyzed using the iterative process of embedding, detecting, and recovering the information.…”

A large number of studies have examined DNA storage to achieve information hiding in DNA sequences with DNA computing technology. However, most data hiding methods are irreversible in that the original DNA sequence cannot be recovered from the watermarked DNA sequence. This study presents reversible data hiding methods based on multilevel histogram shifting to prevent biological mutations, preserve sequence length, increase watermark capacity, and facilitate blind detection/recovery. The main features of our method are as follows. First, we encode a sequence of nucleotide bases with four-character symbols into integer values using the numeric order. Second, we embed multiple bits in each integer value by multilevel histogram shifting of noncircular type (NHS) and circular type (CHS). Third, we prevent the generation of false start/stop codons by verifying whether a start/stop codon is included in an integer value or between adjacent integer values. The results of our experiments confirmed that the NHSand CHS-based methods have higher watermark capacities than conventional methods in terms of supplementary data used for decoding. Moreover, unlike conventional methods, our methods do not generate false start/stop codons.

“…Two types of the selected s are used. In recent years, many steganography were proposed with considering the cracking probability [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] under a brute force guessing. The threating mode evaluated here is based on the intruders knowing algorithms but without the order R. In practice, R is a private key and it should be transmitted via a secure channel.…”

This work proposes a new and non-blind steganographic scheme for synthesized pitches. Synthesized music is popularly used to demonstrate early versions of compositions conveniently and at low-cost. They can also be utilized to pass secrets or obtain digital rights. The method consists of two procedures, of which the first is the realistic simulation of synthesized pitches using a computer and the second is the hiding of secrets during the generated simulated pitches. The first part of this paper reviews attempts to discover the fundamental patterns of synthesized pitches and to develop a strategy for generating approximate pitches using a computer. The component frequencies are used to generate a pitch in which to hide secrets. Legal receivers receive the referenced composition and frequencies, enabling them to generate the synthesized pitches according to the main frequencies of the referenced composition. Finally, the generated and received pitches are compared to identify the secret bits. As more frequencies are used to hide secret bits, more secret bits can be embedded in the synthesized pitches. The use of more frequencies makes synthesized pitches more realistic compared to real ones. The performance of the proposed method is also compared with that of competing methods and under common attacks.

Reversible DNA watermarking is capable of continuous DNA storage and forgery prevention, and has the advantage of being able to analyze biological mutation processes by external watermarking by iterative process of concealment and restoration. In this paper, we propose a reversible DNA watermarking method based on histogram multiple shifting of noncoding DNA sequence that can prevent false start codon, maintain original sequence length, maintain high watermark capacity without biologic mutation. The proposed method transforms the non-coding region DNA sequence to the n-th code coefficients and embeds the multiple bits of the n-th code coefficients by the non-recursive histogram multiple shifting method. The multi-bit embedding process prevents the false start codon generation through comparison search between adjacent concealed nucleotide sequences. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the proposed method has higher watermark capacity of 0.004-0.382 bpn than the conventional method and has higher watermark capacity than the additional data. Also, it was confirmed that false start codon was not generated unlike the conventional method.
