New Quantum Image Steganography Scheme with Hadamard Transformation

Based on Hadamard transformation and the novel enhanced quantum representation for quantum images (NEQR), a quantum image steganography scheme to embed a quantum text message into a quantum image is proposed. The extraction process can recover the text message with the stego image only. In the earlier works, there is no quantum image steganography algorithm to embed the quantum text message into a quantum image. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed scheme has high-capacity, good invisibility, and high security.
