ABSTRACT
We consider a data hiding channel in this paper that is not perfectly known by the encoder and the decoder.The imperfect knowledge could be due to the channel estimation error,time-varying active adversary etc.A mathematical model for this scenario is proposed.Many important attacks such as scaling,geometrical transformations etc.fall under the proposed mathematical model.Minimal assumptions are made regarding the probability distributions of the data-hiding channel.Lower and upper bounds on the data hiding capacity are derived.It is shown that the popular additive Gaussian noise channel model may not su?ce in real-world scenarios;the capacity estimates using the additive Gaussian channel model tend to either over-or under-estimate the capacity under di?erent scenarios. Asymptotic value of the capacity as the signal to noise ratio becomes arbitrarily large is also given.Many existing data hiding capacity estimates are observed to be a special case of the formulas derived in this paper.We also observe that the proposed mathematical model can be applied to real-life applications such as data hiding in image/video. Theoretical results are further explained using numerical values.

1.INTRODUCTION
Data hiding is emerging as an important area of research with the advent of digital technologies.Watermarking, authentication,and steganography are some of the important applications of data hiding techniques to various real-life scenarios.1As the applicability of data hiding methods increases it becomes essential to study them more rigorously.
A thorough mathematical analysis of general data hiding principles under broad assumptions will prove very useful in their analysis and optimization.Moreover,a general mathematical model will be useful in predicting the performance of a wide range of algorithms.There has been some previous attempts towards this goal.2–7Mathematical tools from information theory have provided some insights on the data hiding problem.2–4,6,8–12The number of bits that can been hidden in a given host signal,namely,the data-hiding capacity when the host signal undergoes speci?c kinds of processing/attacks with known probability distributions have been studied in some of these works.The Gaussian probability distribution is a popular model for the data-hiding channel.This model gives rise to closed-form solutions for the data-hiding capacity.A commonality between the majority of the studies on data-hiding is that the type of processing the hidden data undergoes is assumed to be known at the receiver.The processing/attack is usually modeled as additive noise.But,the attack by an active adversary is not guaranteed to be known at the receiver and need not be only additive;e.g.scaling and rotation operations are not additive.Therefore,a more general mathematical model is need.Di?ering from the information theoretic analysis,a decision theoretic method to compute the watermark length capacity for a speci?c noise distribution is introduced in.7The length capacity is the minimum number of signal samples that have to be watermarked so that the watermark can be detected with a given probability of error.
We consider an active adversary in this paper whose strategy could change with time.The time-varying attack strategy of the active adversary means that the estimate of the attack channel by the receiver will always remain imperfect to some extent.On the other hand,if the attack is time-invariant then it can be estimated with arbitrary reliability by using su?ciently large training data.In this paper,we propose a channel model that has a random multiplicative and an additive component.This can be thought of as a data-hiding channel with a fading component (analogous to the fading in communication theory).We note that most of the attack models studied so far in the literature are subsets of the proposed one.The probability distributions of the random components of the data-hiding To appear in Proc.of SPIE Vol.4314,Security and Watermarking of Multimedia Contents II,2001.

channel need not be perfectly known at the receiver.However,it is possible to estimate the deterministic component of the random channel.This gives us partial knowledge about the channel.Our goal is to compute bounds on the data-hiding capacity and study the e?ect of the imperfect knowledge of the channel on the data hiding capacity. We give both lower and upper bounds for the capacity.Theoretical results are further explained using numerical results.We note that our analysis is valid even for oblivious watermarking schemes where statistical estimators are used to estimate the host signal or some of its parameters.The time-varying attack model can also be interpreted as time-varying channel characteristics when the host signal together with the hidden data is transmitted over randomly ?uctuating real-life transmission channels.For example,consider the case where a sender uses an image to hide a message intended for a particular receiver.When this image is sent to the receiver it may undergo compression and also experience additive noise e?ects.The receiver may not know the compression ratio(or,even the compression algorithm)and the mean and variance of the additive noise.If the receiver does not have access to the original image (which is usually the case)it may have to estimate some of these unknown parameters to extract the hidden data.
A typical example is an oblivious watermarking scheme.The parameter estimation process results in various kinds of errors and e?ects that have signi?cant e?ects on the data hiding capacity per channel use.
The organization of the paper is as follows.The proposed problem is de?ned mathematically in Section2. Theoretical results are derived in this section.These are explained further via numerical analysis in Section3.The conclusions of this study are given in Section4.
2.PROBLEM DEFINITION
We attempt to compute and/or bound the data-hiding capacity when the knowledge about the data-hiding channel (or attack)is imperfect and remains to be imperfect.Figure1shows the proposed mathematical model for the proposed problem.In the?gure,the random variable W stands for the hidden signal(or data),G d and G r are the deterministic and the random components of the time-varying attack,i.e.,the random gain,G is decomposed as G=G d+G r and N is the additive noise component.Formally,the received hidden signal can be written as
Z=GW+N(1)
=G d W+G r W+N(2) where,the random variables G,W,and N∈ are assumed to be statistically independent of each other.The time-varying nature of the active adversary is characterized by the condition,σ2G=V ariance(G r)>0.This means that there is always some uncertainty in the estimation of the attack.It also quanti?es the error in estimating the random gain,G,at the receiver in order to undo the e?ect of the attack.Further,we make the following reasonable assumptions:
?E(W2)≤σ2W
?N～Gaussian(0,σ2N)
?E(G)=G d,E(G r)=0,and E(G2r)=σ2G
Then,the mutual information between Z and W is de?ned as
I(Z;W)=h(Z)?h(Z|W)(3) where h(.)denotes the di?erential entropy of the random variable.Therefore,if the probability density function (pdf)of Z is f Z(z)and W～f W(w)then,from,13
h(Z)=? f Z(z)lnf Z(z)dz(4)
h(Z|W)= f W(w)h(wG r+N)dw(5) The data hiding capacity is given by
I(Z;W)(6)
C=sup
f W(w):E(W2)≤σ2w
In real-life scenarios we may not know the probability distribution of G r making the computation of Eq.(5)non-feasible.That is,we do not know what strategy was used by the active adversary or what kind signal processing operations were performed on the hidden signal.Therefore computing the capacity given by Eq.(6)may not be possible.To overcome this di?culty we attempt to bound the mutual information I(Z;W).The bounds will give us an idea about the data hiding capacity.
We?rst compute an upper bound for I(Z;W).Let E(W)=0without loss of generality.Observing that
I(Z;W)=I(Z;W|G)?I(W;G|Z)(7) we get
I(Z;W)≤I(Z;W|G)(8) If G is given then Eq.(1)reduces to the well-known data hiding problem in a Gaussian channel as follows:
I(Z;W|G)=h(Z|G)?h(Z|W,G)
=E G(h(Z|G=g))?h(N)
≤E G(1/2ln(2πe(g2σ2W+σ2N)))?1/2ln(2πeσ2N)
(9)
≤1/2lnE G(ln(2πe(g2σ2W+σ2N)))?1/2ln(2πeσ2N)
(10)
=1/2ln G2dσ2W+σ2Gσ2W+σ2N
σ2N (11)
=1/2ln 1+G2dσ2W+σ2Gσ2W
σ2N (12) where Eq.(9)follows from the fact that the Gaussian distribution has the maximum di?erential entropy(=1/2ln(2πσ2)) for a given varianceσ2.13Eq.(10)is the result of using Jensen’s inequality13which states that,if X is a random variable such that E(X)exits,and if a function m(.)is convex∩,then
E(m(X))≤m(E(X))(13) Since ln(.)is such a function the result follows.Therefore from Eq.(6)and Eq.(12)we get the following upper bound for the data hiding capacity,
C=sup
I(Z;W)
f W(w):E(W2)≤σ2w
≤1/2ln 1+G2dσ2W+σ2Gσ2W
σ2N (14)
To get a lower bound on the data hiding capacity we make one additional assumption,namely,W has a Gaussian distribution.Note that this may not attain channel capacity for any arbitrary distribution of G.A lower bound on I(Z;W)is then readily found by using Theorem7.4.3in13by interpreting G r W+N as additive noise.We restate the theorem here for completeness.
Theorem2.1.13Let a discrete memoryless channel have additive noise of varianceσ2.Let X and Y denote the input and output of the channel respectively and E(X2)≤E.Then I(X;Y)≥1/2log 1+Eσ2 .
Using this result we have the following lower bound:
I(Z;W)≥1/2ln 1+G2dσ2W
σ2Gσ2W+σ2N (15) From Eq.(14)and Eq.(15)we infer the following:
?The mutual information attains the lower bound if G r W is also Gaussian.Hence,in the worst case,the ad-versary will attack using a Gaussian distribution or G r W behaves as additive white Gaussian noise
?The upper bound is attained if the hidden signal behaves as a Gaussian signal with variance(G2d+σ2G)σ2W.?We have I(Z;W|G)?I(Z;W)≤1/2ln 1+σ2Gσ2W2N .This is the maximum amount of loss in the mutual information due to the uncertainty at the receiver regarding the attack due to the adversary.
?Clearly,
lim
σ2
G→0I(G;W)=1/2ln 1+G2dσ2Wσ2N
This is a familiar result—channel capacity of a Gaussian signal in Gaussian noise.We can interpret this as the following.When the uncertainty at the receiver due to the adversary goes to zero,the data hiding capacity equals the Gaussian channel capacity.
?We de?ne signal to noise ratio(SNR)to be equal toσ2W/σ2N.Then,it can be seen that
lim SNR→∞1/2ln 1+G2dσ2W
σ2Gσ2W+σ2N =1/2ln
1+G2dσ2G (16)
This is the least amount of data that can be hidden for arbitrarily large SNR.
3.NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
Figure2and Figure3show the data hiding capacity estimates for various values of the SNR using the upper bound and the lower bound respectively.In the?gures AWGN stands for additive white Gaussian noise.The values forσ2G for these two?gures have been chosen such that the curves can be di?erentiated clearly.It is clear from these two ?gures that a simple additive Gaussian data-hiding channel model could lead to either an over estimate or an under estimate of the capacity depending on the scenario.If the channel gain improves the strength of the hidden signal (or,the e?ect of estimation error is additional signal power)the data hiding capacity increases.On the other hand, if the randomness due to the channel gain also behaves as additive noise component then the data hiding capacity decreases.From this analysis we observe that a simple additive Gaussian channel model may not su?ce for accurate data hiding capacity estimates in real-life scenarios where the signal processing attacks on the host signal may be unknown.
We see in Figure2that the data hiding capacity per channel use increase withσ2G.This is because asσ2G↑the adversary’s attack(or,channel estimation error)results in more signal power leading to improvements in the capacity.On the other hand,Figure3shows how the data hiding capacity decreases when the adversary’s attack behaves as additive noise with increasing power.Also,we observe from Figure3that the minimum number of bits per channel use that can be hidden tends to a?nite value as the SNR→∞;this is in agreement with the theoretical limiting value given in the previous section.

4.CONCLUSIONS
This study tells us how much data can be hidden when there is a randomly time-varying adversary or channel.
A mathematical model that captures this general setting is proposed.Lower and upper bounds on the mutual information between the received signal and the covert signal allows us to compute data hiding capacities under general scenarios.We?nd that,by not accounting for the error in the estimation of the attack at the receiver we may over or under estimate the data hiding capacity.A simple additive Gaussian channel model is not su?cient, in general.Various existing capacity estimates can be derived as a special case of the proposed work.We plan to extend this work to data hiding in real-life signals such as images that undergo various kinds of image processing operations.Particularly,it is of interest to us to study the e?ect of estimation errors on the capacity using oblivious watermark detection.It is known that these estimation errors do not have a satisfactory probabilistic description. So,by simply computing their?rst and second order statistics we may be able to predict the capacity using the theoretical methods discussed in this paper.

“tｈｅwａｙ+从句”结构的意义及用法 首先让我们来看下面这个句子: Ｒead the foｌloｗｉnｇpassagｅａnd talkａbout ｉt wi ｔh your classmaｔes．Try tｏｔeｌl whaｔyｏu thiｎk ｏf Tom aｎd ｏｆｔhe ｗay the chiｌｄrenｔrｅated ｈim. 在这个句子中，ｔhe waｙ是先行词,后面是省略了关系副词that或in whｉch的定语从句。 下面我们将叙述“the ｗaｙ+从句”结构的用法。 1.tｈe wａy之后，引导定语从句的关系词是tｈat而不是hoｗ,因此，<<现代英语惯用法词典＞＞中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的：Ｔhｉs is ｔｈeｗayｈowｉtｈａppened. This is the way how he ａlwａｙs treats me. 2．在正式语体中,thaｔ可被in which所代替;在非正式语体中，ｔhat则往往省略。由此我们得到theｗay后接定语从句时的三种模式：1) tｈe ｗaｙ＋ｔhａt-从句２）the way +ｉn whiｃh－从句3) the ｗay +从句 例如：Ｔｈe way(in whiｃh ，thａt) ｔhｅｓｅｃomｒade ｓloｏｋａｔｐrobｌems is wrong．这些同志看问题的方法
不对。 Ｔｈｅｗａy(that ,ｉn ｗhiｃh)yoｕ’ｒe doinｇit is comple ｔeｌy crａzy.你这么个干法,简直发疯。 Wｅａdmiｒｅd him for thｅｗay ｉｎｗhｉch he fａｃeｓdiｆficultieｓ． Waｌlａｃe ａｎd Ｄarwiｎｇreed ｏn the way ｉｎwhi ｃh ｄｉfｆｅrｅnt forms ｏf life had ｂegｕn.华莱士和达尔文对不同类型的生物是如何起源的持相同的观点。 Thｉs is ｔｈe ｗaｙ（tｈａｔ) hｅdｉd it. I lｉkeｄｔhe waｙ(ｔhat) ｓｈeｏｒganized ｔhe ｍeetｉng． 3.theｗay(tｈat)有时可以与hｏw(作“如何”解）通用。例如： That’s tｈe ｗaｙ(tｈaｔ) shｅspoke. = Tｈat’s how shｅspoke.
表示“方式”、“方法”，注意以下用法： 1.表示用某种方法或按某种方式，通常用介词in(此介词有时可省略)。如： Do it (in) your own way. 按你自己的方法做吧。 Please do not talk (in) that way. 请不要那样说。 2.表示做某事的方式或方法，其后可接不定式或of doing sth。 如： It’s the best way of studying [to study] English. 这是学习英语的最好方法。 There are different ways to do [of doing] it. 做这事有不同的办法。 3.其后通常可直接跟一个定语从句(不用任何引导词)，也可跟由that 或in which 引导的定语从句，但是其后的从句不能由how 来引导。如： 我不喜欢他说话的态度。 正：I don’t like the way he spoke. 正：I don’t like the way that he spoke. 正：I don’t like the way in which he spoke. 误：I don’t like the way how he spoke. 4.注意以下各句the way 的用法： That’s the way (=how) he spoke. 那就是他说话的方式。 Nobody else loves you the way(=as) I do. 没有人像我这样爱你。 The way (=According as) you are studying now, you won’tmake much progress. 根据你现在学习情况来看，你不会有多大的进步。 2007年陕西省高考英语中有这样一道单项填空题： ——I think he is taking an active part insocial work. ——I agree with you_____. A、in a way B、on the way C、by the way D、in the way 此题答案选A。要想弄清为什么选A，而不选其他几项，则要弄清选项中含way的四个短语的不同意义和用法，下面我们就对此作一归纳和小结。 一、in a way的用法 表示：在一定程度上，从某方面说。如： In a way he was right.在某种程度上他是对的。注：in a way也可说成in one way。 二、on the way的用法 1、表示：即将来(去)，就要来(去)。如： Spring is on the way.春天快到了。 I'd better be on my way soon.我最好还是快点儿走。 Radio forecasts said a sixth-grade wind was on the way.无线电预报说将有六级大风。 2、表示：在路上，在行进中。如： He stopped for breakfast on the way.他中途停下吃早点。 We had some good laughs on the way.我们在路上好好笑了一阵子。 3、表示：(婴儿)尚未出生。如： She has two children with another one on the way.她有两个孩子，现在还怀着一个。 She's got five children，and another one is on the way.她已经有5个孩子了，另一个又快生了。 三、by the way的用法
The way的用法及其含义（一） 有这样一个句子：In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。 the way在句中的语法作用是什么？其意义如何？在阅读时，学生经常会碰到一些含有the way 的句子，如：No one knows the way he invented the machine. He did not do the experiment the way his teacher told him.等等。他们对the way 的用法和含义比较模糊。在这几个句子中，the way之后的部分都是定语从句。第一句的意思是，“没人知道他是怎样发明这台机器的。”the way的意思相当于how；第二句的意思是，“他没有按照老师说的那样做实验。”the way 的意思相当于as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.这句话中，the way也是as的含义。随着现代英语的发展，the way的用法已越来越普遍了。下面，我们从the way的语法作用和意义等方面做一考查和分析： 一、the way作先行词，后接定语从句 以下3种表达都是正确的。例如：“我喜欢她笑的样子。” 1. the way+ in which +从句 I like the way in which she smiles. 2. the way+ that +从句 I like the way that she smiles. 3. the way + 从句(省略了in which或that) I like the way she smiles. 又如：“火灾如何发生的，有好几种说法。” 1. There were several theories about the way in which the fire started. 2. There were several theories about the way that the fire started.
way 的用法 【语境展示】 1. Now I’ll show you how to do the experiment in a different way. 下面我来演示如何用一种不同的方法做这个实验。 2. The teacher had a strange way to make his classes lively and interesting. 这位老师有种奇怪的办法让他的课生动有趣。 3. Can you tell me the best way of working out this problem? 你能告诉我算出这道题的最好方法吗？ 4. I don’t know the way (that / in which) he helped her out. 我不知道他用什么方法帮助她摆脱困境的。 5. The way (that / which) he talked about to solve the problem was difficult to understand. 他所谈到的解决这个问题的方法难以理解。 6. I don’t like the way that / which is being widely used for saving water. 我不喜欢这种正在被广泛使用的节水方法。 7. They did not do it the way we do now. 他们以前的做法和我们现在不一样。 【归纳总结】 ●way作“方法，方式”讲时，如表示“以……方式”，前面常加介词in。如例1； ●way作“方法，方式”讲时，其后可接不定式to do sth.，也可接of doing sth. 作定语，表示做某事的方法。如例2，例3；

“the way+从句”结构的意义及用法 首先让我们来看下面这个句子： Read the following passage and talk about it with your classmates. Try to tell what you think of Tom and of the way the children treated him. 在这个句子中，the way是先行词，后面是省略了关系副词that 或in which的定语从句。 下面我们将叙述“the way+从句”结构的用法。 1．the way之后，引导定语从句的关系词是that而不是how,因此，<<现代英语惯用法词典>>中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的：This is the way how it happened. This is the way how he always treats me. 2. 在正式语体中，that可被in which所代替；在非正式语体中，that则往往省略。由此我们得到the way后接定语从句时的三种模式：1) the way +that-从句2) the way +in which-从句3) the way +从句 例如：The way(in which ,that) these comrades look at problems is wrong.这些同志看问题的方法不对。
The way(that ,in which)you’re doing it is completely crazy.你这么个干法，简直发疯。 We admired him for the way in which he faces difficulties. Wallace and Darwin greed on the way in which different forms of life had begun.华莱士和达尔文对不同类型的生物是如何起源的持相同的观点。 This is the way (that) he did it. I liked the way (that) she organized the meeting. 3.the way(that)有时可以与how(作“如何”解)通用。例如： That’s the way (that) she spoke. = That’s how she spoke. I should like to know the way/how you learned to master the fundamental technique within so short a time. 4．the way的其它用法：以上我们讲的都是用作先行词的the way，下面我们将叙述它的一些用法。
定冠词the的12种用法 定冠词the 的12 种用法，全知道?快来一起学习吧。下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 定冠词the 的12 种用法，全知道? 定冠词the用在各种名词前面，目的是对这个名词做个记号，表示它的特指属性。所以在词汇表中，定冠词the 的词义是“这个，那个，这些，那些”，可见，the 即可以放在可数名词前，也可以修饰不可数名词，the 后面的名词可以是单数，也可以是复数。 定冠词的基本用法： (1) 表示对某人、某物进行特指，所谓的特指就是“不是别的，就是那个!”如： The girl with a red cap is Susan. 戴了个红帽子的女孩是苏珊。 (2) 一旦用到the，表示谈话的俩人都知道说的谁、说的啥。如：
The dog is sick. 狗狗病了。(双方都知道是哪一只狗) (3) 前面提到过的，后文又提到。如： There is a cat in the tree.Thecat is black. 树上有一只猫，猫是黑色的。 (4) 表示世界上唯一的事物。如： The Great Wall is a wonder.万里长城是个奇迹。(5) 方位名词前。如： thenorth of the Yangtze River 长江以北地区 (6) 在序数词和形容词最高级的前面。如： Who is the first?谁第一个? Sam is the tallest.山姆最高。 但是不能认为，最高级前必须加the，如： My best friend. 我最好的朋友。 (7) 在乐器前。如： play the flute 吹笛子
