Chaotic iterations for steganography: Stego-security and topological-security

Abstract: In this paper is proposed a novel steganographic scheme based on chaotic iterations. This research work takes place into the information hiding security fields. We show that the proposed scheme is stego-secure, which is the highest level of security in a well defined and studied category of attack called "watermark-only attack". Additionally, we prove that this scheme presents topological properties so that it is one of the firsts able to face, at least partially, an adversary when considering the others categories of attacks defined in the literature.
