Least Significant Bit Steganography using Hitzl-Zele Chaotic Map

Krasimir Mitkov Kordov, Borislav Stoyanov

Abstract


We propose a novel least significant bit steganography algorithm based on a Hitzl-Zele chaotic function. Exact study has been provided on the novel scheme using visual inspection, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and histogram analysis. The experimental data show excellent performance of the novel stego technique.
