....are used, these image blocks mentioned above can be discarded. Using this technique, the hidden message can survive JPEG compression with quality setting as low as 50. Many steganographic tools introduce a specific pattern in their created stego images during the embedding process. In [27], a number of unusual patterns in steganographic tools, such as S Tools, Jsteg, Hide Seek [15] Hide4PGP [16] and Mandelsteg [17] are identified. These unusual patterns stand out and expose the possibility of the hidden message. Visual attack and Chi square attack described in [28] are used for ....

....With digital images as carriers, detecting the presence of hidden messages poses significant challenges. Although the presence of embedded messages is often imperceptible to the human eye, it may nevertheless disturb the statistics of an image. Previous approaches to detecting such deviations [11, 28, 17] typically examine first order statistical distributions of intensity or transform coe#cients (e.g. discrete cosine transform, DCT) The drawback of this analysis is that simple counter measures that match first order statistics are likely to foil detection. In contrast, the approach taken here ....

Previous approaches to detecting such deviations [13, 26, 20] typically examine firstorder statistical distributions of intensity or transform coefficients (e.g. discrete cosine transform, DCT) In contrast, we employ the higher order statistical models described above for the purposes of detecting the presence of a hidden message within a digital image ....

....we present are novel and to the best of our knowledge, the first attempt at designing general purpose tools for steganalysis. General detection techniques as applied to steganography have not been devised and methods beyond visual inspection and specific statistical tests for individual techniques [64, 65, 66, 67] are not present in the literature. Since too many images have to be inspected visually to sense hidden messages, the development of a technique to automate the detection process will be very valuable to the steganalyst. Our approach is based on the fact that hiding information in digital media ....

....secret message, and even perhaps the steganography key using only the observed stego messages. During this process we exploit spatial diversity and temporal diversity information that will be explained in later sections. Passive steganalysis has been attempted previously by many researchers [7,14,13,11,19,23,21,6,1,27]. The general theme behind these techniques is the exploitation of first and higher order statistics depending on the steganography technique. A priori spatial and frequency domain information about the stego messages are used to arrive at a steganalysis strategy. When such a priori information is ....

....impossible task to complete, as there are many places to hide data, and many ways to hide the data in those places. in this section we discuss some of these detection techniques and their limitations. Johnson has done extensive work in identifying signatures for specific steganographic techniques [12, 15]. By closely monitoring the artifacts left from several commercial products, he noticed several distinguishing traits for many commercial products. Since all of the commercial techniques modify the carrier in some way, he was able to document many of these signatures. However, his published ....

If modified, Stirmark could be used as a networked warden for certain types of unstructured carriers. in contrast, our contributions in this paper focus primarily on structured carriers such as TCP iP. Also in the area of unstructured carriers, Johnson [12] tested several contemporary steganographic systems for robustness. His tests involved embedding information into an image, and then testing its survivability against a myriad of techniques including format translation, bit density translation, blurring, smoothing, adding and removing noise, ....

....embedding. This method provides very reliable results when the message placement is known (e.g. sequential) However, randomly scattered messages can only be reliably detected with this method when the message length becomes comparable with the number of pixels in the image. Johnson and Jajodia [7] introduced a steganalytic method that can be applied to stego images in the palette format created by programs that preprocess the palette. In this paper, we present a new, reliable and extremely accurate steganalytic method that can be applied to 24 bit color images as well as to 8 bit ....

....common steganographic technique the least significant bit embedding (LSB) cannot be directly applied to palette images because too many new colors would be created. Most current steganographic algorithms for palette images introduce easily detectable artifacts in the palette or in the image data [8,9]. On the highest level, the typical palette image format consists of three parts: a header, a palette, and image data or pointers to the palette. The palette contains the RGB triplets of all colors that occur in the image. Secret messages can be hidden either in the palette itself or in the image ....

....way, when the LSBs of one, two or three color channels are perturbed, the total number of newly created colors will be at most 256. Thus, it will be possible to embed one, two, or three bits per pixel without introducing visible artifacts into the carrier image. However, as pointed out by Johnson [8,9], the new palettes will have easily detectable groups of close colors. It is thus relatively easy to distinguish images with and without secret messages. It appears that secure schemes should not manipulate the palette but rather embed message bits in the image data. In the next section, we ....

....watermark information. Usually, watermarking algorithms are tested for their robustness against various kinds of attacks that try to remove or destroy them. But, there is a more important problem that needs to be addressed minimizing the risk of watermark detection by an adversary. As noted in [2], detecting a watermark by an unauthorized agent defeats its very purpose. There have been previous attempts to estimate and manipulate watermarks [1, 3, 8] A watermark is usually treated as additive noise during this process. However, we note that it is rst necessary to detect a watermark ....

....After LSB embedding, the new color palette will have a very disctinct feature many pairs of very close colors . The presence of too many pairs of close colors is an indication of using the LSB encoding for steganography. While this type of artifact was recognized by researchers before [2,3], it was commonly thought that this was applicable only to images that use small palettes (GIF, PNG formats with at most 256 colors in their palettes) In this paper, we show that a large number of true color images can also be attacked using a similar idea. We derived a statistical quantity and ....
