• Abstract: Online social networks have stimulated communications over the Internet more than ever, making it possible for secret message transmission over such noisy channels. In this paper, we propose a Coverless Image Steganography Network, called CIS-Net, that synthesizes a high-quality image directly conditioned on the secret message to transfer. CIS-Net is composed of four modules, namely, the Generation, Adversarial, Extraction, and Noise Module. The receiver can extract the hidden message without any loss even the images have been distorted by JPEG compression attacks. To disguise the behaviour of steganography, we collected images in the context of profile photos and stickers and train our network accordingly. As such, the generated images are more inclined to escape from malicious detection and attack. The distinctions from previous image steganography methods are majorly the robustness and losslessness against diverse attacks. Experiments over diverse public datasets have manifested the superior ability of anti-steganalysis.

  We describe a different computational framework to hide images in deep probabilistic models. Specifically, we use a DNN to model the probability density of cover images, and hide a secret image in one particular location of the learned distribution. We demonstrate the feasibility of our SinGAN approach in terms of extraction accuracy and model security.
