Modulus Calculations on Prime Number Algorithm for Information Hiding With High Comprehensive Performance

Information hiding is an important technique for information security, which is wildly studied by researchers. Recently embedding methods are proposed in spatial, frequency and other domains. After investigating previous literatures, we find that there is still room for embedding performance improvement. Inspired by some literatures, we propose a new method (Modulus Calculations on Prime Number Algorithm, MOPNA) for embedding secret data into cover-images. The main idea of MOPNA is hiding confidential data in paired cover-pixels with modulus calculation based on weight parameters consisting of prime numbers. MOPNA improves the embedding capacity while maintaining good stego-image quality. The correctness of MOPNA method is proved by a combination of mathematical and programming proof. The experimental results prove that the proposed method has high embedding capacity and achieves better comprehensive performance than existing methods.
