Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Text Using Paillier Cryptosystem

Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Domain (RDHED) is an innovative method that can keep cover information secret and allows the data hider to insert additional information into it. This article presents a novel data hiding technique in an encrypted text called Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Text (RDHET). Initially, the original text is converted into their ASCII values. After that, the Paillier cryptosystem is adopted to encrypt all ASCII values of the original text and send it to the data hider for further processing. At the data hiding phase, the secret data are embedded into homomorphically encrypted text using a technique that does not lose any information, i.e., the homomorphic properties of the Paillier cryptosystem. Finally, the embedded secret data and the original text are recovered at the receiving end without any loss. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is vital in the context of encrypted text processing at cloud-based services. Moreover, the scheme works well, especially for the embedding phase, text recovery, and performance on different security key sizes

Framework for reversible data hiding using cost-effective encoding system for video steganography

Importances of reversible data hiding practices are always higher in contrast to any conventional data hiding schemes owing to its capability to generate distortion free cover media. Review of existing approaches on reversible data hiding approaches shows variable scheme mainly focussing on the embedding mechanism; however, such schemes could be furthermore improved using encoding scheme for optimal embedding performance. Therefore, the proposed manuscript discusses about a cost-effective scheme where a novel encoding scheme has been used with larger block sizes which reduces the dependencies over larger number of blocks. Further a gradient-based image registration technique is applied to ensure higher quality of the reconstructed signal over the decoding end. The study outcome shows that proposed data hiding technique is proven better than existing data hiding scheme with good balance between security and restored signal quality upon extraction of data

Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images Using MSBs Integration and Histogram Modification

This paper presents a reversible data hiding in encrypted image that employs based notions of the RDH in plain-image schemes including histogram modification and prediction-error computation. In the proposed method, original image may be encrypted by desire encryption algorithm. Most significant bit (MSB) of encrypted pixels are integrated to vacate room for embedding data bits. Integrated ones will be more resistant against failure of reconstruction if they are modified for embedding data bits. At the recipient, we employ chess-board predictor for lossless reconstruction of the original image by the aim of prediction-error analysis. Comparing to existent RDHEI algorithms, not only we propose a separable method to extract data bits, but also content-owner may attain a perfect reconstruction of the original image without having data hider key. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm outperforms state of the art ones
