Abstract
Steganography is an art of hiding of secret information in an innocuous medium like an image. Most of the current steganographic algorithms hide data in the spatial or transform domain. In this paper, we perform attacks on three singular value decomposition-based spatial steganographic algorithms, by applying image processing operations. By performing these attacks, we were able to destroy the stego content while maintaining the perceptual quality of the source image. Experimental results showed that stego content can be suppressed at least by 40%. PSNR value was found to be above 30 dB and SSIM obtained was 0.61. Markov feature and BER are used to calculate the percentage of stego removed.
