TCS Seminar

Date: 29/10/2013, Time: 17:15, Location: J. Liivi 2, room 317 (next to the coffee room)

Speaker: Prof. Sergey Bezzateev (Invited speaker from Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation)

Title: Special class of error-correcting codes for steganography

Abstract:

An approach to construction of steganographic method for the weighted container is discussed. To find the efficient solution, concept of Penalty Function is introduced. The analysis of the efficiency of the weighted embedding for the simple model of weighted container is shown.

A steganographic method based on special class of Goppa codes in the weighted Hamming metric is proposed. The comparison of the proposed method and algorithm F5 and its modifications is given.
