Abstract
Steganalysis technology judges whether there is secret information in the carrier by monitoring the abnormality of the carrier data, so the traditional information hiding technology has reached the bottleneck. Therefore, this paper proposed the coverless information hiding based on the improved training of Wasserstein GANs (WGAN-GP) model. The sender trains the WGAN-GP with a natural image and a secret image. The generated image and secret image are visually identical, and the parameters of generator are saved to form the codebook. The sender uploads the natural image (disguise image) to the cloud disk. The receiver downloads the camouflage image from the cloud disk and obtains the corresponding generator parameter in the codebook and inputs it to the generator. The generator outputs the same image for the secret image, which realized the same results as sending the secret image. The experimental results indicate that the scheme produces high image quality and good security.Keywords
