A HEVC Video Steganalysis Algorithm Based on PU Partition Modes

Steganalysis is a technique used for detecting the existence of secret information embedded into cover media such as images and videos.Currently,with the higher speed of the Internet,videos have become a kind of main methods for transferring information.The latest video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC)shows better coding performance compared with the H.264/AVC standard published in the previous time.Therefore,since the HEVC was published,HEVC videos have been widely used as carriers of hidden information.In this paper,a steganalysis algorithm is proposed to detect the latest HEVC video steganography method which is based on the modification of Prediction Units(PU)partition modes.To detect the embedded data,All the PU partition modes are extracted from P pictures,and the probability of each PU partition mode in cover videos and stego videos is adopted as the classification feature.Furthermore,feature optimization is applied,that the 25-dimensional steganalysis feature has been reduced to the 3-dimensional feature.Then the Support Vector Machine(SVM)is used to identify stego videos.It is demonstrated in experimental results that the proposed steganalysis algorithm can effectively detect the stego videos,and much higher classification accuracy has been achieved compared with state-of-the-art work.

Novel Video Steganography Algorithm Based on Secret Sharing and Error-Correcting Code for H.264/AVC

In this paper, we analyze the video steganography technique, which is used to ensure national security and the confidentiality of the information of governmental agencies and enterprises. Videos may be used to transmit secrets and conduct covert communication. As such, we present an algorithm based on a secret sharing scheme and an Error-Correcting Code（ECC）, which combines Grey Relational Analysis（GRA） with a partition mode in video compression standard H.264/AVC. First, we process secret information by secret sharing, and then use an ECC to process the obtained information. Moreover, we choose the Discrete Cosine Transform（DCT） blocks using GRA, and then use rules to hide the pretreated information in DCT coefficients of the video frames. Experimental results indicate that our algorithm has good invisibility, better robustness, good anti-steganalysis ability, and little influence on the bit rate of the video carrier. In addition, the bit error rate is low after attacks such as noise, filtering,or frame loss in the simulation environment.
