In-Depth Information
For the empirical study we have used our own software by use of Visual C++
software development environment. In the developed software, embedding and recov-
ery can be equipped with passwords and secret keys to seed blocks thus providing
restricted access to the hidden data. There exist several additional attributes (as indi-
cated in the end of
Section 3
) facilitating further increase of security assurance of the
hidden information.
The approach can also be used for various applications like watermarking, etc. that
were also the subjects of empirical study.
The future works include developments of new SVD-based techniques for hiding
information in digital images and application of the approach to mobile hidden com-
munications.
