The secret message is embedded in DCT domain through an accurate selection of the potentially modifiable coefficients taking into account their visual and statistical relevancy. A novel block measure named discrepancy is introduced in order to select suitable areas for embedding. The visual impact of the steganographic technique is evaluated through PSNR measures. State-of-the-art steganalytical test is also performed to offer a comparison with the original model-based techniques. Copyright 2009 Lorenzo Rossi et al.

Introduction Steganography is the art of hidden communication. Its aim is in fact to hide the presence of communication between two parties. Current steganographic techniques conceal secret messages in innocuous-looking data as images audio files and video files. Following the approach in 1 the actual message to be transmitted is called embedded message while the innocuous-looking message in which the other will be enclosed is the cover message cover image in case of images . This embedding process creates a new message called stego .
