Title
High-Capacity Framework for Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Image Using Pixel Prediction and Entropy Encoding
Abstract
While the existing reserving room before encryption (RRBE) based reversible data hiding in encrypted image (RDHEI) schemes can achieve decent embedding capacity, the capacity of the existing vacating room by encryption (VRBE) based schemes is relatively low. To address this issue, this paper proposes a generalized framework for high-capacity RDHEI for both the RRBE and VRBE cases. First, an efficient embedding room generation algorithm (ERGA) is designed to produce large embedding room using pixel prediction and entropy encoding. Then, we propose two RDHEI schemes, one for RRBE, another for VRBE. In the RRBE scenario, the image owner generates the embedding room with ERGA and encrypts the preprocessed image using stream cipher with two encryption keys. Then, the data hider locates the embedding room and embeds the additional encrypted data. In the VRBE scenario, the cover image is encrypted by an improved block modulation and permutation encryption algorithm, where the spatial redundancy in the plain-text image is greatly preserved. Then, the data hider applies ERGA on the encrypted image to generate the embedding room and conducts data embedding. For both schemes, receivers with different authentication keys can conduct either error-free data extraction or error-free image recovery. The experimental results show that the two proposed schemes outperform many state-of-the-art RDHEI schemes. Besides, they can ensure high security level, where the original image can be hardly discovered from the encrypted version before or after data hiding by unauthorized users.
