Image Difference

An efficient method of completely separable reversible data hiding in encrypted images is proposed. The cover image is first partitioned into nonoverlapping blocks and specific encryption is applied to obtain the encrypted image. Then, image difference in the encrypted domain can be calculated based on the homomorphic property of the cryptosystem. The data hider, who does not know the original image content, may reversibly embed secret data into image difference based on two-dimensional difference histogram modification. Data extraction is completely separable from image decryption; that is, data extraction can be done either in the encrypted domain or in the decrypted domain, so that it can be applied to different application scenarios. In addition, data extraction and image recovery are free of any error. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, an efficient reversible data hiding method for encrypted image based on neighborhood prediction is proposed, which includes image encryption, reversible data hiding in encrypted domain, and hidden data extraction. The cover image is first partitioned into non-overlapping blocks, and then the pixel value in each block is encrypted by modulo operation. Therefore, the linear prediction difference in the block that satisfies the specific condition is consistent before and after encryption, ensuring that data extraction is completely separable from image decryption. In addition, by using the linear weighting of three adjacent pixels in the block to predict the current pixel, the prediction accuracy can be improved. The data-hider, who does not know the original image content, may embed additional data based on prediction difference histogram modification. Data extraction and image recovery are free of any error. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.

Storage and exchange of data of the patient images are common in medical applications. To protect the information of the patient and to avoid miss handling of the patient information data hiding scheme is very much essential. Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) scheme is one such scheme paid more attention to hide the data in encrypted images, since it maintains the excellent property that the original cover can be lossless recovered after embedded data is extracted while protecting the image content’s confidentiality. In this paper initially space is reserved from the encrypted images, which may be used to embed the information later stage. Histogram shifting based Reversible Data Hiding scheme used to reserve the room before encryption process. The proposed method can achieve real reversibility, that is, data extraction and image recovery are free of any error. Experiments show that this novel method and achieves better perceptual quality.

The research in the domain of reversible data hiding got much attention in recent years due to its wide applications in medical image transmission and cloud computing.  Reversible data hiding during image encryption is a recently emerged framework for hiding secret data into an image during the image encryption process. In this manuscript, we propose a new reversible data hiding through encryption scheme which will ensure a high embedding rate without bringing any additional overhead of key handling. The proposed algorithm can use any secure symmetric encryption scheme, and the encryption and/or decryption key should be shared with the receiver for data extraction and image recovery. As per the proposed scheme, the data hider can hide three-bits of secret message in an image block of size $B\times B$ pixels. The data extraction image recovery will be carried out by analyzing the closeness between adjacent pixels. The simulation of the new scheme on the USC-SIPI dataset shows that the proposed scheme outperforms the well-known existing schemes in embedding rate and bit error rate.

Cloud Servers

With the rapid development of cloud storage, an increasing number of users store their images in the cloud. These images contain many business secrets or personal information, such as engineering design drawings and commercial contracts. Thus, users encrypt images before they are uploaded. However, cloud servers have to hide secret data in encrypted images to enable the retrieval and verification of massive encrypted images. To ensure that both the secret data and the original images can be extracted and recovered losslessly, researchers have proposed a method that is known as reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDHEI). In this paper, a new RDHEI method using median edge detector (MED) and two’s complement is proposed. The MED prediction method is used to generate the predicted values of the original pixels and calculate the prediction errors. The adaptive-length two’s complement is used to encode the most prediction errors. To reserve room, the two’s complement is labeled in the pixels. To record the unlabeled pixels, a label map is generated and embedded into the image. After the image has been encrypted, it can be embedded with the data. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method can reach an average embedding rate of 2.58 bpp, 3.04 bpp, and 2.94 bpp on the three datasets, i.e., UCID, BOSSbase, BOWS-2, which outperforms the previous work.

Data hiding in encrypted image is a recent popular topic of data security. In this paper, we propose a reversible data hiding algorithm with pixel prediction and additive homomorphism for encrypted image. Specifically, the proposed algorithm applies pixel prediction to the input image for generating a cover image for data embedding, referred to as the preprocessed image. The preprocessed image is then encrypted by additive homomorphism. Secret data is finally embedded into the encrypted image via modular 256 addition. During secret data extraction and image recovery, addition homomorphism and pixel prediction are jointly used. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can accurately recover original image and reach high embedding capacity and good visual quality. Comparisons show that the proposed algorithm outperforms some recent algorithms in embedding capacity and visual quality.
