Abstract

A high-performance JPEG steganography should be secure enough to resist modern steganalysis. In this paper, we propose a high-performance JPEG steganographic method. The proposed method adopts the complementary embedding strategy to avoid the detections of several statistical attacks. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, several statistical attacks are simulated and used to detect the stego-images created by the proposed method. Several famous JPEG steganographic algorithms are also simulated for comparisons with the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed steganographic method has superior performance both in capacity and security, and is practical for the application of secret communication.
