Westfeld[1] detected the stegoed–image by measuring the frequencies of PoVs(pairs of values) in the suspicious images. Fridrich[4]
proposed another detection method, so-called RS steganalysis. In this paper we propose a steganographic scheme using a block
cipher, which minimizes the embedding changes of a cover object utilizing not only the LSBs of the cover object’s strings
but also the whole bits of the cover object. The proposed scheme is a kind of the coding scheme which minimizes changed bits
for message embedding without sharing the secret code–book. The experimental result shows that the proposed scheme efficiently
evades the χ
2–statistical test and RS steganalysis.
