Digital Invisible Ink Data Hiding Based on Spread-

A novel
data-hiding methodology, denoted as digital invisible ink (DII), is proposed to
implement secure steganography systems. Like the real-world invisible ink,
secret messages will be correctly revealed only after the marked works undergo
certain prenegotiated manipulations, such as lossy compression and processing. Different
from conventional data-hiding schemes where content processing or compression
operations are undesirable, distortions caused by prenegotiated manipulations
in DII-based schemes are indispensable steps for revealing genuine secrets. The
proposed scheme is carried out based on two important data-hiding schemes:
spread-spectrum watermarking and frequency- domain quantization watermarking.
In some application scenarios, the DII-based steganography system can provide
plausible deniability and enhance the secrecy by taking cover with other
