Title
Multichannel Steganography in Digital Images for Multiple Receivers
Abstract
In this article, we focus on a new concept called multichannel steganography, in which a sender is able to transmit different secret data to multiple receivers via the same cover image. First, we propose a general framework to achieve multichannel steganography based on modern steganographic paradigm. Then, we design two schemes to, respectively, achieve separable and sequential multichannel steganography with the proposed framework. In the separable scheme, a receiver can extract secret data for him/her using the corresponding data hiding key. For other parts of secret data, the receiver cannot affirm the existence and, therefore, cannot extract them. In the sequential scheme, the multiple receivers are dependent. The receiver with the highest priority can extract data first. After that, the receiver with the second priority can extract data when authorized by the highest priority receiver, and so on. In addition, the two schemes achieve multichannel steganography without decreasing the undetectability of steganography.
