Binary Image Steganography based on Permutation

Abstract We propose a steganographic scheme based on permutations, which improves the capacity of embedding information in a series of p host binary images. Given a host binary image block of size m x n bits and any embedding technique T, where T can hide Q(m, n) bits of data in the image; given p images, T can hide p x Q(m, n) bits of data in these images. Our scheme improves the capacity of embedding information in p images such that, instead of p x Q(m, n) bits, it can hide p x log2(p) + p x Q(m, n)bits. The results which have been obtained by experiments, show that our model performs a better hiding process in terms of hiding capacity.
