发明名称 Method of detecting steganographically hidden images via low-order bit comparisons
摘要 The invention is a method for scanning an image data file to determine the presence of a payload, including the steps of identifying the values of one or more lower-order bits in the bytes of an uncompressed image data file to determine the distribution of values at one or more bit positions, and comparing bit position images to reveal hidden payloads from significant variations in contiguous color blocks in the bit position images not otherwise explainable from the original image.

主权项 1. A method for scanning an image data file to determine the presence of a payload, comprising: a) automatically scanning, using a computer, an image data file to identify the values of bits in at least one fourth order or lower bit position, selected as a first bit position, and calculating and rendering as an output to a user said values of bits in said first bit position as attributable (or not) to continuous color blocks; b) automatically scanning, using a computer, an image data file to identify the values of bits in at least one fourth or lower bit position different from said first bit position and selected as a second bit position, and calculating and rendering as an output to a user said values of bits in said second bit position as attributable (or not) to contiguous color blocks; c) automatically scanning, using a computer, an image data file to identify the values of bits in at least one fourth or lower bit position different from said first or second bit position and selected as a third bit position, and calculating and rendering as an output to a user said values of bits in said third bit position as attributable (or not) to contiguous color blocks: and d) automatically calculating adjusted block difference percentages for each bit position and rendering as an output to a user the adjusted block difference percentages differentials to indicate the presence or absence of a payload in the image data file, wherein an alarm or event occurs to flag the image data file as suspicious for payload content.
