Application of Steganography for Anonymity through the Internet Jacques M. Bahi, Jean-François Couchot, Nicolas Friot, and Christophe Guyeux* * Authors in alphabetic order FEMTO-ST Institute, UMR 6174 CNRS Computer Science Laboratory DISC University of Franche-Comté Besançon, France {jacques.bahi, jean-francois.couchot, nicolas.friot, christophe.guyeux}@femto-st.fr February 23, 2012 Abstract : In this paper, a novel steganographic scheme based on chaotic iterations is proposed. This research work takes place into the information hiding security framework. The applications for anonymity and privacy through the Internet are regarded too. To guarantee such an anonymity, it should be possible to set up a secret communication channel into a web page, being secure. To achieve this goal, we propose an information hiding scheme being stego-secure, which is the highest level of security in a well defined and studied category of attacks called “watermark-only attack”.
