Resisting Blind Steganalysis in Real Time Covert Communication

In this work, we review recent developments in the field of steganography keeping real time covert communication applications in mind. We then propose a microarchitecture to transform the existing one of most successful Steganographic technique, Yet Another Steganographic Scheme (YASS) to the hardware platform for satisfying the current Steganographic application needs. This hardware will be able to resist the Self-calibration based blind Steganalysis attacks, which are the most successful attacks in breaking any Steganographic technique till now. General Terms Information security, steganography, data hiding, watermarking.
