摘要
This paper proposes an alternative for building a data hiding algorithm into digital images. The method is based on chaos theory and the least significant bit technique for embedding a secret message in a image. Specifically the Bernoulli's chaotic maps are used, to perform the following processes: (i) encrypt the bits of the message before embedding them into the cover image, (ii) a random selection of the image's compositions (R,G or B) must be performed and the insertion of the secret message in a random way to (iii) rows and (iv) columns of the image. Several experimental results are shown under different evaluation criteria, such as entropy, autocorrelation, homogeneity, contrast, energy, peak signal-to-noise ratio, mean squared error and maximum absolute squared deviation. Experimental results show a good improvement in the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio and Image Fidelity value of the proposed algorithm in comparison to the results obtained from similar algorithms.
