스테가노그래피란 숨기려는 정보를 미디어 데이터에 교묘하게 삽입하여 정보의 존재를 전혀 눈치 채지 못하도록 하는 데이터 은닉 기술의 하나이다. 데이터 암호화의 경우에는 정보 데이터에 직접 복호하기 어렵게 복잡한 부호화 기법을 이용하여 변형하는 것으로, 정보의 존재를 쉽게 인지할 수 있지만 복호를 어렵게 하는데 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 그러나 스테가노그래피는 다른 미디어에 정보를 자연스럽게 숨겨서 정보의 존재를 눈치 채지 못하게 함으로써, 더욱 강력하게 정보를 보호할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 영상에 다른 영상 정보를 숨기는 영상 스테가노그래피의 개념을 소개하고, 스테가노그래피 부호화 여부를 판별하는 기법을 제안한다. 주로 영상 픽셀의 LSB (Least Significant Bit)를 조작하는 공간영역의 기법과, JPEG 압축시 DCT 계수를 조작하는 주파수 영역의 영상 스테가노그래피를 소개하고, 이들의 스테가노그래피 부호화 여부와 복호결과를 판별하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다.

The remarkable advancement of quantum steganography offers enhanced security for quantum communications. However, there is a significant concern regarding the potential misuse of this technology. Moreover, the current research on identifying malicious quantum steganography is insufficient. To address this gap in steganalysis research, this paper proposes a specialized quantum steganalysis algorithm. This algorithm utilizes quantum machine learning techniques to detect steganography in general quantum secure communication schemes that are based on pure states. The algorithm presented in this paper consists of two main steps: data preprocessing and automatic discrimination. The data preprocessing step involves extracting and amplifying abnormal signals, followed by the automatic detection of suspicious quantum carriers through training on steganographic and non-steganographic data. The numerical results demonstrate that a larger disparity between the probability distributions of steganographic and non-steganographic data leads to a higher steganographic detection indicator, making the presence of steganography easier to detect. By selecting an appropriate threshold value, the steganography detection rate can exceed 90%.

A new and secure image steganographic scheme based on nonuniform discrete Fourier transform (NDFT) is proposed in this paper. First, the chaotic system is introduced to select embedding points randomly in NDFT domain suitable range, and NDFT is implemented on every non-overlapping block of eight consecutive pixels. Second, the secret messages are scrambled by chaotic systems, and embedded into frequency coefficients by quantization method. The stego-image is obtained by inverse NDFT (INDFT). Besides, in order to discriminate tampers, the low frequency wavelet coefficients of 7 most significant bits (MSBs) of the stego-image are converted into the binary sequence after nonuniform scalar quantization. Then the obtained binary sequence is scrambled by the chaotic systems, and embedded into the least significant bit (LSB) of the stego-image. Finally, the watermarked stego-image can be obtained by a new improved LSB steganographic method. The embedded secret messages can be extracted from the watermarked stego-image without the original cover image. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed scheme, and dual statistics attacks are also conducted to indicate the security.
