Image steganography can have legitimate uses, for example, augmenting an image with a watermark for copyright reasons, but can also be utilized for malicious purposes. We investigate the detection of malicious steganography using neural networkbased classification when images are transmitted through a noisy channel. Noise makes detection harder because the classifier must not only detect perturbations in the image but also decide whether they are due to the malicious steganographic modifications or due to natural noise. Our results show that reliable detection is possible even for state-of-the-art steganographic algorithms that insert stego bits not affecting an image’s visual quality. The detection accuracy is high (above 85%) if the payload, or the amount of the steganographic content in an image, exceeds a certain threshold. At the same time, noise critically affects the steganographic information being transmitted, both through desynchronization (destruction of information which bits of the image contain steganographic information) and by flipping these bits themselves. This will force the adversary to use a redundant encoding with a substantial number of error-correction bits for reliable transmission, making detection feasible even for small payloads.

In recent years, with the development of communication technology, embedded computing technology and sensor technology, it has become increasingly mature. Micro sensors with sensing, computing and communication capabilities have appeared in large numbers and developed rapidly, making wireless sensor networks widely used. People put forward higher requirements for the accuracy, reliability and flexibility of the image acquisition system. The image transmission system using analog technology not only has low image quality, but also has a serious waste of system resources, is not easy to form a complex network structure, and has poor functional scalability. In view of the actual needs of the current image acquisition and wireless transmission system, based on embedded technology, image acquisition, processing technology and network transmission technology, this paper proposes and designs a low-cost, high-reliability embedded image acquisition and wireless transmission system. Experimental tests show that this system has reasonable design, high video coding efficiency, good image continuity, stable operation, and basically realizes the display, storage and playback functions of the collected video data. Improve the transmission rate of the system and reduce the distortion caused by compression in terms of image compression. At the same time, it supports multiple image resolutions, frame rate options and multiple video formats, and the system’s transmission rate can adapt to the state of the network. This design fulfills the basic requirements of an embedded image acquisition system based on network technology, and provides a good foundation for the next development of a gigabit network-based image acquisition system.

AbstractQuantum channels underlie the dynamics of quantum systems, but in many practical settings it is the channels themselves that require processing. We establish universal limitations on the processing of both quantum states and channels, expressed in the form of no-go theorems and quantitative bounds for the manipulation of general quantum channel resources under the most general transformation protocols. Focusing on the class of distillation tasks — which can be understood either as the purification of noisy channels into unitary ones, or the extraction of state-based resources from channels — we develop fundamental restrictions on the error incurred in such transformations, and comprehensive lower bounds for the overhead of any distillation protocol. In the asymptotic setting, our results yield broadly applicable bounds for rates of distillation. We demonstrate our results through applications to fault-tolerant quantum computation, where we obtain state-of-the-art lower bounds for the overhead cost of magic state distillation, as well as to quantum communication, where we recover a number of strong converse bounds for quantum channel capacity.

Location verification in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is quite challenging in the presence of malicious sensor nodes, which are called attackers. These attackers try to break the verification protocol by reporting their incorrect locations during the verification stage. In the literature of WSNs, most of the existing methods of location verification use a set of trusted verifiers, which are vulnerable to attacks by malicious nodes. These existing methods also use some distance estimation techniques, which are not accurate in noisy channels. In this article, we adopt a statistical approach for secure location verification to overcome these limitations. Our proposed method does not rely on any trusted entities and it takes care of the limited precision in distance estimation by using a suitable probability model for the noise. The resulting verification scheme detects and filters out all malicious nodes from the network with a very high probability even when it is in a noisy channel.
