With the development of cloud computing, high-capacity reversible data hiding in an encrypted image (RDHEI) has attracted increasing attention. The main idea of RDHEI is that an image owner encrypts a cover image, and then a data hider embeds secret information in the encrypted image. With the information hiding key, a receiver can extract the embedded data from the hidden image; with the encryption key, the receiver reconstructs the original image. In this paper, we can embed data in the form of random bits or scanned documents. The proposed method takes full advantage of the spatial correlation in the original images to vacate the room for embedding information before image encryption. By jointly using Sudoku and Arnold chaos encryption, the encrypted images retain the vacated room. Before the data hiding phase, the secret information is preprocessed by a halftone, quadtree, and S-BOX transformation. The experimental results prove that the proposed method not only realizes high-capacity reversible data hiding in encrypted images but also reconstructs the original image completely.

Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDHEI) is a technology which embeds secret data into encrypted images in a reversible way. In this paper, we proposed a novel high-capacity RDHEI method which is based on the compression of prediction errors. Before image encryption, an adaptive linear regression predictor is trained from the original image. Then, the predictor is used to obtain the prediction errors of the pixels in the original image, and the prediction errors are compressed by Huffman coding. The compressed prediction errors are used to vacate additional room with no loss. After image encryption, the vacated room is reserved for data embedding. The receiver can extract the secret data and recover the image with no errors. Compared with existing approaches, the proposed method efficiently improves the embedding capacity.

The popularity of cloud computing has impelled more users to upload personal data into the cloud server. The need for secure transmission and privacy protection has become a new challenge and has attracted considerable attention. In this paper, we propose a high-capacity reversible data hiding scheme in encrypted images (RDHEI) that compresses prediction errors in usable blocks of block-based encrypted images. On the content owner side, the original image is divided into 2 × 2 sized blocks, and each block is encrypted by block-based modulation. On the data hider side, an efficient block-based predictor is utilized to generate prediction errors. The Huffman coding technique is introduced to compress prediction errors in the usable blocks to embed abundant additional data. On the receiver side, the additional data can be totally extracted with a data hiding key and the original image can be losslessly recovered with an image encryption key. Experimental results demonstrate that the embedding rate of our proposed scheme is significantly improved compared to those of state-of-the-art schemes.

Since few years, a new problem is trying to combine in a single step, compression, encryption and data hiding. So far, few solutions have been proposed to combine image encryption and compression for example. Nowadays, a new challenge consists to embed data in encrypted images. Since the entropy of encrypted image is maximal, the embedding step, considered like noise, is not possible by using standard data hiding algorithms. A new idea is to apply reversible data hiding algorithms on encrypted images by wishing to remove the embedded data before the image decryption. Recent reversible data hiding methods have been proposed with high capacity, but these methods are not applicable on encrypted images. In this paper we propose an analysis of the local standard deviation of the marked encrypted images in order to remove the embedded data during the decryption step. We have applied our method on various images, and we show and analyze the obtained results.

A joint encryption and reversible data hiding (joint encryption-RDH) scheme is proposed in this paper. The cover image is transformed to the frequency domain with integer discrete wavelet transform (integer DWT) for the encryption and data hiding. Additional data is hidden into the permuted middle (LH, HL) and high (HH) frequency subbands of integer DWT coefficients with a histogram modification based method. A combination of permutations both in the frequency domain and in the spatial domain is imposed for the encryption. In the receiving end, the encrypted image with hidden data can be decrypted to the image with hidden data, which is similar to the original image without hidden data, by only using the encryption key; if someone has both the data hiding key and the encryption key, he can both extract the hidden data and reversibly recover the original image. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with existing joint encryption-RDH schemes, the proposed scheme has gained larger embedding capacity, and the distribution of the encrypted image with data hidden has a random like behavior. It can also achieve the lossless restoration of the cover image.
