- Abstract
The impressive increase in the rate of image transmission via internet has, more than ever, highlighted the importance of image securing techniques. One of the efficient solutions to secure images is Secret Image Sharing (SIS) with stegranography and authentication where an image is distributed among the shareholders without raising adversaries' suspicion. Additionally, the cheats of the dealer and share holders in the reconstruction of the image are discoverable. This means that the integration of the shares is verifiable. Although almost all the images on internet are compressed, the majority of proposed SIS schemes with steganography are not applicable to compressed images which is the area that our work attemps to improve. In this paper a novel SIS scheme based on homogeneous linear recursion (HLR) with steganography and authentication for Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding (AMBTC) compressed images is proposed. For steganography Hamming code (15,11) is applied which enables embedding with little changes so that the stego and cover images are visually and statistically very similar. An additional merit is that the reconstructed image is of an acceptable quality. What is more, authentication algorithm makes it possible for the scheme to detect any form of cheating and secures it against passive steganographic attacks.
