Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A novel steganalysis method for JPEG images is introduced that is universal in the sense that it reliably detects any type of steganography as well as small payloads. It is limited to quality factors 99 and 100. The detection statistic is formed from the rounding errors in the spatial domain after decompressing the JPEG image. The attack works whenever, during compression, the discrete cosine transform is applied to integer-valued signal. Reminiscent of the well-established JPEG compatibility steganalysis, we call the new approach the reverse JPEG compatibility attack. While the attack is introduced and analyzed under simplifying assumptions using reasoning based on statistical signal detection, the best detection in practice is obtained with machine learning tools. Experiments on diverse datasets of both grayscale and color images, five steganographic schemes, and with a variety of JPEG compressors demonstrate the universality and applicability of this steganalysis method in practice.
