Abstract

In this paper we propose a method for hiding a secret message in a digital image that is based on parsing the cover image instead of changing its structure. Our algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer strategy and works in Θ(nlogn) time. Its core idea is based on the problem of finding the longest common substring of two strings. The key advantage of our method is that the cover image is not modified, which makes it very difficult for any steganalysis technique based on image analysis to detect and extract the message from the image.
