Experimental research of bitwise method for information hiding in vector images

Abstract

In this work the authors propose an experimental research of bitwise method for information hiding in vector images. Hiding data, according to the considered method, occurs with the gradual separation of Bezier curves to visually identical chains of curves, which, due to their properties, provide resistance to attacks, based on affine transformations. The main stages of realization of examined steganosystem are highlighted, under which, there was conducted the software implementation of this method of hiding information in Bezier curves the vector image of SVG format. The necessary conditions for the selection of steganocontainer, the key structural elements of SVG images, the basic characteristics and the critical parameters of the steganosystem are established and described during the research. The obtained results of experiment demonstrate the efficiency and throughput of the proposed method.
