Artificial neural networks for detection cover and stego images

Abstract

This paper is aimed on the technique for detection of cover and stego images by means of artificial neural networks. The work is connected with cryptography for information encoding and additional method for information hiding, which is called steganography. The core of the paper explains the principle of hidden information revealing in multimedia files like jpeg by means of artificial neural networks. The results show successful detection of four stego techniques by means of feed forward neural networks with one hidden layer.
