| Abstract | ||||
| Steganography is defined as the art and science of embedding data in a cover object without leaving a remarkable track on the cover object, in other words it is the study of invisible communications. It is usually dealing with the methods of hiding the existence of data to be transmitted in such a way that, it remains confidential. The main objectives of steganography are high capacity of the hidden data, perceptual transparency (invisibility), temper resistance, undetectability, computation complexity and robustness. It is classified into three categories which are; pure (no key), secret key, public key steganography. According to the type of the cover object, there are different types of steganography which are; image, audio, video, network and text. In the image steganography, the secrecy can be achieved by hiding data into the cover image and generating the stego-image. According to the embedding techniques, there are different techniques of steganography which are those embedding in the spatial domain (substitution method), those embedding in the transform domain (frequency domain), spread spectrum techniques, distortion techniques, masking and filtering techniques, and cover generation techniques. Each of these techniques has its strengths and weaknesses for different algorithms. This paper presents a review of these techniques; the different algorithms, concepts, advantages and disadvantages. The steps of the different algorithms of these techniques will presented in details, with a comparison between all these techniques. The different applications of steganography, the attacks, and the robust image steganography against attacks are presented. Lastly, the future and the novel trends in steganography are presented. | ||||
