Efficient Transmission of Reversible Data Hiding in Encryption Images by Using Reed-Solomon Codes

In this paper, a novel reversible data hiding by using Reed-Solomon (RS) code is proposed for efficient transmission in encryption image. To increase the recovery of data from encrypted image, RS codes are used to encode messages, and then the code words can be embedded into encrypted image according to encryption key. After receiving embedding the code words, the receiver firstly decrypts the encrypted image using the encryption key and get metric about code words containing messages. According to recovery capability of RS codes, better estimation of message is done in data hiding system. Simulation results about two images and two RS codes show that the performances of the proposed schemes are better than ones of the reference scheme.
