Academic Press Digital Media Steganography: Principles, Algorithms, and Advances

The common use of the Internet and cloud services in transmission of large amounts of data over open networks and insecure channels, exposes that private and secret data to serious situations. Ensuring the information transmission over the Internet is safe and secure has become crucial, consequently information security has become one of the most important issues of human communities because of increased data transmission over social networks. Digital Media Steganography: Principles, Algorithms, and Advances covers fundamental theories and algorithms for practical design, while providing a comprehensive overview of the most advanced methodologies and modern techniques in the field of steganography. The topics covered present a collection of high-quality research works written in a simple manner by world-renowned leaders in the field dealing with specific research problems. It presents the state-of-the-art as well as the most recent trends in digital media steganography.
