Image scrambling is a technique used for confidential storage and transmission as well as for image information hiding. In this study, we propose a multi-channel quantum image scrambling method, which applies both color and geometric transformations of an image. This is a simple and reliable method for transforming a meaningful quantum image into a meaningless or disordered one. We performed two simulation experiments, which demonstrated the efficiency and flexibility of the proposed method. Previous studies mainly developed scrambling strategies for grayscale quantum images, whereas the proposed method is effective for the color image scrambling in the quantum computing domain.

To improve the robustness and imperceptibility of the existing coverless image information hiding, a generative coverless image information hiding algorithm based on fractal theory is proposed in this paper. Firstly, four fractal image generation methods are analyzed, and the relationship between the coverless information hiding and these methods is discussed. Secondly, based on the fractal image generation algorithm, secret information is hidden by controlling pixel rendering during the generation process. The robustness, imperceptibility, and capability of resisting steganalysis are balanced by adjusting the rendering distance. As it directly generates stego images, this can resist the detection of most existing steganalysis methods. Meanwhile, different capacities can be achieved by adjusting the size of the generated image. Experimental results and analysis show that the proposed scheme can effectively resist steganalysis and has good robustness against various image attacks. Furthermore, it can achieve large capacity, and it has broad prospects for covert communication.
