Abstract

This paper aims to add the data hiding capability to a compression-friendly image encryption method [1]. The data hiding method is designed to be commutative with the encryption method [1], and the resulting joint method is separable. Unlike the conventional histogram based methods where the image is processed entirely, the histogram of each non-overlapping image block is considered, where the block size coincides with the encryption block size. In addition, two ordering functions are proposed to facilitate the data hiding and extraction processes. Further constrains are imposed to ensure correct data extraction and reversibility. Experiment results suggest that the resulting joint method retains the compression-friendly feature of [1], with insignificant file size increment across all quality factors considered. In the best case scenario, 45765 bits could be hidden into the test image Airplane.
