• Abstract: Minimum distortion steganography is currently the mainstream method for modification-based steganography. A key issue in this method is how to define steganographic distortion. With the rapid development of deep learning technology, the definition of distortion has evolved from manual design to deep learning design. Concurrently, rapid advancements in image generation have made generated images viable as cover media. However, existing distortion design methods based on machine learning do not fully leverage the advantages of generated cover media, resulting in suboptimal security performance. To address this issue, we propose GIFDL (Generated Image Fluctuation Distortion Learning), a steganographic distortion learning method based on the fluctuations in generated images. Inspired by the idea of natural steganography, we take a series of highly similar fluctuation images as the input to the steganographic distortion generator and introduce a new GAN training strategy to disguise stego images as fluctuation images. Experimental results demonstrate that GIFDL, compared with state-of-the-art GAN-based distortion learning methods, exhibits superior resistance to steganalysis, increasing the detection error rates by an average of 3.30% across three steganalyzers.

  Existing generated image detection methods detect visual artifacts in generated images or learn discriminative features from both real and generated images by massive training. This paper approaches the generated image detection problem from a new perspective: Start from real images. By finding the commonality of real images and mapping them to a dense subspace in feature space, the goal is that generated images, regardless of their generative model, are then projected outside the subspace.
