Reversible data hiding in the encrypted domain is an emerging technology, as it can preserve the confidentiality. In this article, an efficient method of reversible data hiding in encrypted images is proposed. The cover image is first partitioned into non-overlapping blocks. A specific modulo...

Cryptographic Substitution-boxes are source of nonlinearity in modern block encryption systems. The robustness and confusion imparted through these systems heavily rely on the strength of their S-boxes. This brings new challenges to design cryptographically potent S-boxes to develop strong...

Lossless recovery in visual secret share (VSS) is very meaningful. In this paper, a novel lossless recovery algorithm for the basic matrix VSS is proposed. The secret image is reconstructed losslessly by using simple exclusive XOR operation and merging pixel. The algorithm not only can apply to...

The security of Fridrich's algorithm against brute-force attack, statistical attack, known-plaintext attack and select-plaintext attack is analyzed by investigating the properties of the involved chaotic maps and diffusion functions. Based on the given analyses, some means are proposed to...
