Abstract

Reversibility of data-hiding refers to the reconstruction of original host data at the decoder from the stego data. Previous works on the subject are concentrated on the reversibility of data-hiding techniques from multimedia perspectives. However, from the security point of view, that at our knowledge was not exploited in existing studies, reversibility could be used by an attacker to remove the complete trace of watermark data from the stego data in the sense of designing the worst case attack. Thus, the aim of this paper is to analyze the reversibility of data-hiding techniques based on random binning from the security perspectives.
