TY - JOUR ID - TI - Corners-based Image Information Hiding Method AU - Ahmed Talib PY - 2017 VL - 43 IS - 1 SP - 1 EP - 5 JO - Iraqi Journal for Computers and Informatics المجلة العراقية للحاسبات والمعلوماتية SN - 2313190X 25204912 AB - The huge explosion of information over World Wide Web forces us to use information security methods to keep it away fromintruders. One of these security methods is information hiding method. Advantage of this method over other security methods is hidingexistence of data using carrier to hold this data embedding inside it. Image-based information hiding represents one of widely usedhiding methods due to the image capability of holding large amount of data as well as its resistance to detectable distortion. In lastdecades, statistical methods (types of stego-analysis methods) are used to detect existing of hidden data. Therefore, areas that have colorvariation (edges area) are used to hide data instead of smooth areas. In this paper, Corners points are proposed to hide data instead ofedges, this to avoid statistical attacks that are used to expose hidden message. Additionally, this paper proposes clearing least significantbit (CLSB) method to retrieve data from stego-image without sending pixels' map; this will increase security of the proposed cornerbasedhidingmethod.Experimentalresultsshowthattheproposedmethodisrobustagainststatisticalattackscomparedwithedge-andsequential-basedhidingmethods.SVM classifier also confirms the outperformance of the proposed method over the previous methods by using Corel-1000 image dataset.
