JPEG reversible data hiding method based on optimal DCT frequency embedding by Ziyang ZHOU, Yun TAN, Jiaohua QIN, Xuyu XIANG

“…Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images are widely used on the Internet due to their ability to maintain good picture quality while requiring less storage space.Reversible data hiding (RDH) techniques for JPEG images enable the hiding and extraction of secret information while allowing for lossless restoration of the original image.RDH is of great significance in file management and image authentication.However, many existing RDH methods result in a significant increase in the storage space of the encoded image after embedding secret information.For methods based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient embedding, the key issue that affects the performance of reversible information hiding in JPEG images is how to select the frequency band position.A reversible information hiding method for JPEG images was proposed, based on optimal DCT frequency embedding.The entropy decoded JPEG image was divided into 8×8 non-overlapping DCT blocks.The average texture complexity of each DCT block was calculated and ordered in ascending order.Then the alternating current (AC) in adjacent DCT blocks was paired pairwise.By satisfying the capacity of the information to be embedded, the optimal AC coefficient frequency position set was obtained from the distortion cost function of the AC coefficient frequency.The secret information was embedded according to the designed two-dimensional histogram mapping strategy.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the expansion of the loaded image file’s storage size compared to existing methods, while maintaining good visual quality of the cover image.…”

Hierarchical proxy consensus optimization for IoV based on blockchain and trust value by Baoqin ZHAI, Jian WANG, Lei HAN, Jiqiang LIU, Jiahao HE, Tianhao LIU

“…With the rapid development of Internet of vehicles, 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, intelligent transportation has become the development trend of transportation technology.As a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road information interaction platform, the Internet of vehicles is the basic support platform for intelligent traffic information sharing and processing.At the same time, the security of Internet of vehicles has attracted much attention, especially data security which may cause user privacy leakage.The blockchain technology has become a solution, but it still faces new challenges in efficiency, security and other aspects.With the increase of vehicle nodes and information, how to efficiently achieve information consensus in high-speed vehicle moving environment has become a key problem.Then a bottom-up RSU (road side unit) chain consensus protocol was proposed based on blockchain and trust value.Several typical consensus structures were compared, and bottom-up two-layer consensus structure was adopted according to the actual scenarios of the Internet of vehicles.Moreover, a group leader node election algorithm was proposed which is based on node participation, work completion and message value.The system security was ensured by assigning trust value to each vehicle.Following the consensus structure and algorithm work mentioned above, the specific process of the protocol was comprehensively described, which was divided into six steps: region division, group leader node selection, local consensus, leader primary node selection, global consensus, and intra-domain broadcast.Then the experiments were analyzed from four aspects: security, communication complexity, consensus algorithm delay and fault tolerance rate.Experiments showed that, compared with other schemes, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce communication complexity and shorten consensus delay under the condition of resisting conspiracy attack, witch attack and other attacks.On the premise of security, the protocol improves fault tolerance rate and enables more nodes to participate in information sharing to satisfy the requirements of Internet of vehicles scenarios.…”
