From Covert Hiding To Visual Editing: Robust Generative Video Steganography

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Traditional video steganography methods are based on modifying the covert space for embedding, whereas we propose an innovative approach that embeds secret message within semantic feature for steganography during the video editing process. Although existing traditional video steganography methods excel in balancing security and capacity, they lack adequate robustness against common distortions in online social networks (OSNs). In this paper, we propose an end-to-end robust generative video steganography network (RoGVSN), which achieves visual editing by modifying semantic feature of videos to embed secret message. We exemplify the face-swapping scenario as an illustration to demonstrate the visual editing effects. Specifically, we devise an adaptive scheme to seamlessly embed secret messages into the semantic features of videos through fusion blocks. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method in terms of robustness, extraction accuracy, visual quality, and capacity.
