A robust audio steganography algorithm based on differential evolution by Zhaopin SU, Chaoyong SHEN, Guofu ZHANG, Feng YUE, Donghui HU

“…., segmented scaling parameters and steganography capacity) and imperceptibility as well as robustness was analyzed.Next, a multi-objective optimization model of audio steganography was presented, in which segmented scaling parameters and steganography capacity were decision variables, imperceptibility and steganography capacity were optimization objectives, and the signal-to-noise ratio was a constraint.Then, a robust audio steganography algorithm based on differential evolution was proposed, including the corresponding encoding, fitness function, crossover and mutation operators.Finally, comparative experimental results show that the proposed steganography algorithm can achieve better robustness against common signal processing attacks on the premise of ensuring imperceptibility and anti-detection.…”
