Hiding information can also be achieved in JPEG bit Abstract - This paper proposes a method of Concealing streams by lightly modifying the data [9]. One problem Information in Images based on Progressive Recovery. in [5]-[9] is that data can be extracted only after image Three parties are involved in the framework, including decryption. Divisible data hiding was introduced to fix the content owner, the data-hider, and the recipient. The this problem, which allows one to extract data hidden content owner selects the image and uploads it to the directly from the encrypted image. In [10], the dataserver. The data-hider on the server divides the image hider dissolves the pixels into sectors, and binds some into nine channels and respectively embeds different LSB layers of each sector to few bits using a predefined amount of additional bits into each one to generate a matrix. The receiver abstracts the additional message stego image. On the recipient side, additional message from the marked encrypted image. After decryption, can be extracted from the stego image, and the original the original LSBs are regained by considering the image can be recovered without any errors. While most estimated bits with the binded ones. If higher bit planes of the traditional methods use one criterion to recover are used [11]-[13], higher embedding rate can be the whole image and message, we propose to do the achieved. Some data hiding methods were also recovery by a progressive mechanism. introduced to elevate embedding rates by evacuating embedding room before encryption, e.g., [14] and [15]. Key Words: Concealing data, Progressive recovery, Users with decryption key needs to view the image by stego image, nine channels, three criterions decrypting the marked encrypted image. The distortion 1. INTRODUCTION is bounded to three LBS-layers in encrypted images, as [5]-[7] and [10], to secure the decrypted image with The basic concept of hiding information in images good virtue. Overlooking to this condition, we propose originates from reversible data hiding (RDH) in a progressive recovery based divisible data hiding to plaintext images [1] [2]. This is profitable in the accomplish a better adequacy, which is an extension to applications like cloud storage and medical systems. the work in [10]. We separate the embedding [3] [4]. At the cloud, when the administrator has to procedure into rounds to hide additional messages. manage many images, he can add additional The progressive recovery uses three criterions which is information like labels, time stamps. This provides an different from traditional recovery that uses only one easier way to search images and also saves the storage criterion. Over progressive working, larger freight can overhead. When the receiver downloads the data be gained. containing additional information from the server, he/she can recover the images after decryption 2. PROPOSED WORK without any loss. The sender encrypts an image using stream 2.1 Problem Statement enciphering [5], and a data-hider adds additional bits into the blocks by flipping three least significant bits This paper proposes a method of data hiding based on (LSB) in each block. On receiver side, the image is progressive recovery. Three parties are involved, the decrypted and two contender are generated by flipping content owner, the data-hider, and the recipient. The again for each block. This method was further modified content owner selects the original image and a in [6] by attaining spatial association between symmetric key and then uploads image to the server. neighboring blocks to have a better embedding rate, The data-hider divides the image and embeds which was further improved in [7] using an embedding additional bits to generate a stego image. On the strategy to achieve larger embedding rate. Protected recipient side the original image and the message data hiding can be assured by public key modulation Š 2017, IRJET
