Steganographic Methods Resistant to JPEG Compression
УДК 519.7
Abstract
The active development of computer systems and information technologies implies an increase in the importance of ensuring the protection and security of information during its transfer or storage. Today, the fulfillment of the necessary data confidentiality requirements tends to the direction of cryptography and steganography. The choice of the applied method of encoding information directly depends on the goals of the user, as well as the available software. The main requirement for the message encoding process is the availability of acceptable computational complexity of the implementation.
The article discusses methods of ensuring data confidentiality employing digital steganography, using BMP images as container files, and carrying out their subsequent compression to the JPEG format without losing hidden information. Mathematical methods of constructing a stegosystem for encoding ASCII are studied — a message, each character of which is encoded with exactly one byte. As a result, a computer program was created based on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 programming environment and the C# programming language (.NET Framework). The stereotype, in this case, is a sequence of steps between image pixels, into which information is embedded. In this case, the algorithm allows you to memorize not the entire sequence of steps (that is, not the entire keystroke), but only the first five characters of the key or half of the key.
