ABSTRACT
Data hiding provides a collection of techniques that can be used within a wider cybersecurity or privacy framework, making it possible, for example, to protect the users' privacy in streaming or broadcasting of multimedia contents or to detect cyberattacks in IoT networks when combined with machine learning solutions. However, criminals and terrorists are also aware and these techniques and can exploit them for malicious purposes. This contribution provides an overview of the traditional data hiding applications and the current trends in this field, pointing out prospective uses of data hiding in the context of information security and privacy, but also introducing potential threats for users and the society as a whole when they are applied for evil.

High-fidelity reversible data hiding scheme based on multi-predictor sorting and selecting mechanism
We propose a reversible data hiding scheme using histogram modification technique.A new mechanism is proposed to select an optimum predictor from a set of predictors.A smaller prediction-error is obtained using our proposed mechanism.The prediction-...
Robust and secured image-adaptive data hiding
Rapid growth in the demand and consumption of digital information in past decade has led to valid concerns over issues such as content security, authenticity and digital right management. Imperceptible data hiding in digital images is an excellent ...
Reversible Data Hiding in the VQ-Compressed Domain
Steganographic methods usually produce distortions in cover images due to the process of embedding secret bits. These distortions are hard to remove, and thus the cover image cannot be recovered. Although the distortions are always small, they cannot be ...
