Abstract

Reversible information hiding plays an important roles in the field of privacy protection. In this paper, a new reversible information hiding scheme is proposed which supports the direct operation in homomorphic encrypted domain. The proposed “Joint Hiding and Tracing, JHT” tactics and the “3 Level Integrity Authentication Scheme” devote to piracy tracing and integrity authentication. To enhance security, the Paillier homomorphic encryption and Arnold technology are employed. Furthermore, we present the dual region division tactics including Data/Signature region division and Texture/Smooth region division. Data/Signature region division is to circumvent conflicts, and Texture/Smooth region division is fit well with the human visual characteristics. Besides, neighboring quadratic optimization approach is presented to eliminate the smooth/texture isolated islands in the texture/smooth regions. In addition, Extended Integer Transform and position image are developed to achieve reversibility and circumvent overflow/underflow problems. Experimental results confirm the efficient of the proposed scheme, and demonstrate it not only realizes privacy protection, integrity authentication and piracy tracing, but also holds the characteristics of higher security, larger capacity and better restoration quality.
