Abstract
Matrix encoding proposed by Crandall can be used in steganography data hiding methods. Hamming codes are kinds of cover codes. “Hamming + 1” proposed by Zhang et al. is an improved version of Matrix encoding steganography. The embedding efficiency of “Hamming + 1” is equal to (k + 1)2k+1 − 1/(2k+1 − 1), and embedding rate is (k + 1)/2k. Our proposed “Hamming + 3” scheme has a slightly reduced embedding efficiency, but improve highly embedding rate. We therefore propose verifying the embedding rate during the embedding and extracting phase. Experimental results show that the reconstructed secret messages are the same as the original secret messages, and that the proposed scheme exhibits a good embedding rate compared to that of previous schemes.
