Optimal Image Steganography Content Destruction Techniques

The paper presents two approaches for destroying steganogrphy content in an image. The first is the overwriting approach where a random data can be written again over steganographic images whereas the second approach is the denoising approach. With the second approach two kinds of destruction techniques have been adopted these are filtering and discrete wavelet techniques. These two approaches have been simulated and evaluated over two types of hiding techniques, Least Significant Bit LSB technique and Discrete Cosine Transform DCT technique. The results of the simulation show the capability of both approaches to destroy the hidden information without any alteration to the cover image except the denoising approach enhance the PSNR in any received image even without hidden information by an average of 4dB.
