Abstract

A new steganographic method called STABYLO is introduced in this research work. Its main advantage is to be much lighter than the so-called HUGO, WOW, and UNIWARD schemes, the state of the art steganographic processes. To achieve the proposed goal, famous experimented components of signal processing, coding theory, and cryptography are combined together, leading to a scheme that can reasonably face up-to-date steganalysers.
