Abstract

We present a model of steganographic systems which allows to evaluate their security. We especially want to establish an analogy to the known-plaintext-attack which is commonly used to rate cryptographic systems. This model’s main statement is that the embedding operation of a steganographic system should work indeterministic from the attacker’s point of view. This is proved by means of information theory.

The work was sponsored by the German Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology and the Gottlieb-Daimler- and Karl-Benz-Foundation Ladenburg (Germany).
