PSW statistical LSB image steganalysis

Steganography is the art and science of producing covert communications by concealing secret messages in apparently innocent media, while steganalysis is the art and science of detecting the existence of these. This manuscript proposes a novel blind statistical steganalysis technique to detect Least...
