Improving the Robustness of Adaptive Steganographic Algorithms Based on Transport Channel Matching

Moving steganography and steganalysis from the laboratory into the real world, the robustness of steganography needs to be further considered. In this paper, we propose a robust steganographic algorithm to resist the JPEG compression of transport channel based on transport channel matching. Transport channel matching can adjust images to meet the requirements of transport channel so that the impact of JPEG compression from the channel can be reduced. To improve the robustness of steganography, the embedded message bits will be encoded by the error correction code. Then, the adaptive steganographic algorithms will be used to embed messages. To enhance the coding rate, the error correction capability t of the error correction code is dynamically adjusted according to the images. Experimental results on the local simulation of JPEG compression and social network site demonstrate that the proposed steganographic algorithm has a good performance with respect to both robustness and security.
