This paper propose a data hiding for a digital hologram which is the most valuable content. We propose a DCT-domain data hiding method. The data hiding method is composed on the basis of the energy distribution. The method in this paper is the basic guideline. We expected the scheme in this paper are further examined to fine more advanced and efficient data hiding scheme in the near future.

Inner product encryption (IPE) scheme is a cryptographic primitive that provides fine grained relations between secret keys and ciphertexts. This paper proposes a new IPE scheme which achieves fully attribute hiding security. Our IPE scheme is based on bilinear groups of a composite order. We prove the fully attribute hiding security of our IPE by using dual encryption system framework. In performance analysis, we compare the computation cost and memory requirement of our proposed IPE to other existing IPE schemes.

QR codes as public patent are widely used to acquire the information in various fields. However, it faces security problem when delivering the privacy message by QR code. To overcome this weakness, we propose a secret hiding scheme by improving exploiting modification direction to protect the private message in QR code. The secret messages will be converted into octal digit stream and concealed to the cover QR code by overwriting the cover QR code public message bits. And the private messages can be faithfully decoded using the extraction function. In our secret hiding scheme, the QR code public message still can be fully decoded publicly from the marked QR codes via any standard QR Code reader, which helps to reduce attackers' curiosity. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is feasible, with high secret payload, high security protection level, and resistant to common image post-processing attacks.

In this paper we propose the digital information hiding technique by which we use the combination of random sequence and Hadamard matrix to hide multiple information. The prior work used only one random sequence multiplied by information signal to lower the energy level of information signal and thus it is difficult for a third party to detect the information signal or jam it. But because we have to use the orthogonal code for hiding key in order to hide multiple information in the same digital image, only the use of random sequence that are not uncorrelated has some problems in the information hiding scheme. Thus we present a new information hiding scheme that can be used in hiding multiple information by the use of random sequence that spreads the energy level of the data to be hidden and Hadamard matrix that makes the random sequence uncorrelated.

We propose new reversible watermarking method for images. Being reversibility, original image and watermarked message should be recovered exactly. We propose different technique for hiding data to pairs. We use new type of histogram (pair histogram), which shows frequencies of each pair in image. We use histogram shift method for data embedding to pairs. We also propose improved version of method which allow hiding data with good performance for high capacities. This algorithm has better result compare to Tian's difference expansion method based on the Haar wavelet decomposition. For proposed algorithm capacity is higher under same PSNR.

This study presents two reversible data hiding schemes based on the coefficient shifting (CS) algorithm. The first scheme uses the CS algorithm with a mean predictor in the spatial domain to provide a large payload while minimizing distortion. To guard against manipulations, the second scheme uses a robust version of the CS algorithm with feature embedding implemented in the integer wavelet transform domain. Simulations demonstrate that both the payload and peak signal-to-noise ratio generated by the CS algorithm with a mean predictor are better than those generated by existing techniques. In addition, the marked images generated by the variant of the CS algorithm are robust to various manipulations created by JPEG2000 compression, JPEG compression, noise additions, (edge) sharpening, low-pass filtering, bit truncation, brightness, contrast, (color) quantization, winding, zigzag and poster edge distortion, and inversion.

According to researches [1], good image quality and amount of hiding information is a main point of steganography. In this point of view, [3] is a very good scheme to hide in an image. However, it cannot hide a lot of information. In order to solve this problem, we propose new method to hide more information than that of [3]. In addition, it can be reduced distortion of an image than that of [4]. Thus, our method is a very efficient and novel scheme.

A strong designated verifier signature scheme is a special type of signature scheme which provides signer anonymity by enabling the specified recipient, called a designated verifier, to simulate a signature which is indistinguishable from the signer's signature. It has many applications such as software distribution or electronic voting. In this paper, we consider two important security properties of strong designated verifier signature scheme - source hiding and security against key-compromise attack. We show that the two properties cannot be achieved at the same time. Finally, we present a new ID-based strong designated verifier signature scheme which is secure against key-compromise attack.

Image compression is a popular research issue that focuses on the problems of reducing the size of multimedia files. Vector Quantization (VQ) is a well-known lossy compression method which can significantly reduce the size of a digital image while maintaining acceptable visual quality. A locally adaptive scheme (LAS) was proposed to improve the compression rate of VQ in 1997. However, a LAS needs extra indicators to indicate the sources, consequently the compression rate of LAS will be affected. In this paper, we propose a novel method to eliminate the LAS indicators and so improve the compression rate. The proposed method uses the concept of data hiding to conceal the indicators, thus further improving the compression rate of LAS. From experimental results, it is clearly demonstrated that the proposed method can actually eliminate the extra indicators while successfully improving the compression rate of the LAS.

In this paper, we propose a novel reversible data hiding scheme in the index tables of the vector quantization (VQ) compressed images based on index set construction strategy. On the sender side, three index sets are constructed, in which the first set and the second set include the indices with greater and less occurrence numbers in the given VQ index table, respectively. The index values in the index table belonging to the second set are added with prefixes from the third set to eliminate the collision with the two derived mapping sets of the first set, and this operation of adding prefixes has data hiding capability additionally. The main data embedding procedure can be achieved easily by mapping the index values in the first set to the corresponding values in the two derived mapping sets. The same three index sets reconstructed on the receiver side ensure the correctness of secret data extraction and the lossless recovery of index table. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
