Reversable data hiding
no vote
A content owner encrypts the original image usingan encryption key, and a data-hider can embed additional data into theencrypted image using a data-hiding key though the receiver does not know theoriginal content. With an encrypted image containing additional data, areceiver may first decrypt it according to the encryption key, and then extractthe embedded data and recover the original image according to the data-hidingkey. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"">In the scheme, the data extraction is notseparable from the content decryption. In other words, the additional data mustbe extracted from the decrypted image, so that the principal content oforiginal image is revealed before data extraction, and, if someone has thedata-hiding key but not the encryption key, receiver cannot extract anyinformation from the encrypted image containing additional data.
