With the development of cloud computing, high-capacity reversible data hiding in an encrypted image (RDHEI) has attracted increasing attention. The main idea of RDHEI is that an image owner encrypts a cover image, and then a data hider embeds secret information in the encrypted image. With the information hiding key, a receiver can extract the embedded data from the hidden image; with the encryption key, the receiver reconstructs the original image. In this paper, we can embed data in the form of random bits or scanned documents. The proposed method takes full advantage of the spatial correlation in the original images to vacate the room for embedding information before image encryption. By jointly using Sudoku and Arnold chaos encryption, the encrypted images retain the vacated room. Before the data hiding phase, the secret information is preprocessed by a halftone, quadtree, and S-BOX transformation. The experimental results prove that the proposed method not only realizes high-capacity reversible data hiding in encrypted images but also reconstructs the original image completely.

In this paper, we proposed a novel reversible data hiding method in encrypted image (RDHEI), which is based on the compression of pixel differences. In the proposed method, at the content owner’ side the image is divided into non-overlapping blocks, and a block-level image encryption scheme is used to generate the encrypted image, which partially retains spatial correlation in the blocks. Due to the spatial correlation, in each block the pixels are highly likely to be similar. Therefore, the pixel differences in all blocks are concentrated in a small range and can be compressed. By the compression of pixel differences, the data hider can vacate the room to accommodate secret data in the encrypted image without losing information. At the receiver’s side, the receiver can obtain secret data or retrieve the original image using different keys with no error. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared with existing methods, the proposed method can achieve a higher capacity and visual quality.

Since few years, a new problem is trying to combine in a single step, compression, encryption and data hiding. So far, few solutions have been proposed to combine image encryption and compression for example. Nowadays, a new challenge consists to embed data in encrypted images. Since the entropy of encrypted image is maximal, the embedding step, considered like noise, is not possible by using standard data hiding algorithms. A new idea is to apply reversible data hiding algorithms on encrypted images by wishing to remove the embedded data before the image decryption. Recent reversible data hiding methods have been proposed with high capacity, but these methods are not applicable on encrypted images. In this paper we propose an analysis of the local standard deviation of the marked encrypted images in order to remove the embedded data during the decryption step. We have applied our method on various images, and we show and analyze the obtained results.
