Title
Using PSO algorithm for simple LSB substitution based steganography scheme in DCT transformation domain
Abstract
An improved method for embedding a secret message into a cover image with least significant bit (LSB) substitution in discrete cosine transformation (DCT) domain was proposed. The secret message was first split into partitions, while the cover image was divided into blocks of size 2x2, and DCT was used to convert the blocks from spatial domain to frequency domain. Then, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was applied to search for an optimal substitution matrix T to transform the split partitions for an optimal embedding. Next, the transformed part of secret message was embedded into the AC coefficients of the transformed image blocks by LSB substitution. Experimental results show the proposed method can keep the quality of the stego-image better, while the security of the hidden secret message is increased by use of the substitution matrix T.
