Techniques For Data Hiding . Data hiding , a form of steganography , embeds data into digital media for the purpose of identification , annotation , and copyright , Several constraints affect this process : the quantify of data to be hidden , the need for invariance of these data under conditions where a ''host'' signal is subject to distortions , e . g . , lossy compression , and the degree to which the data must be immune to interception , modification , or removal by a third party (third party) .

SUBLIMINAL CHANNELS - PAST AND PRESENT . Subliminal channels were devised by Simmons in 1978 to demonstrate a fundamental flaw in a protocol the U . S . was considering using to allow the U . S . S . R . to verify U . S . compliance with the terms of the SALT II treaty . The examples given of such channels (second user data, second media fingerprints) were more in the nature of existence proofs than feasible communication channels until 1984 when i (target demographic) t was shown that most digital signature schemes could be caused to host subliminal communications hidden in the digital signatures . Almost all of these subliminal channels , however , had several shortcomings . In order for the subliminal receiver to be able to recover a subliminal message , it was apparently necessary for him to know the transmitter's (the signer's) secret key . This meant that the subliminal receiver had to be given the capability to utter undetectable forgeries of the transmitter's signature . Also , only a subset of the natural message set could be communicated subliminally and some of those that could be transmitted were computationally infeasible for the subliminal receiver to recover . A digital signature standard (DSS) has recently been adopted by the U . S . government (May , 1994) which like most other digital signature schemes also permits subliminal communications to be concealed in signatures . Remarkably though , the subliminal channels in the DSS avoid all of the shortcomings that limit the usefulness of these channels in other digital signature schemes . This paper briefly describes the setting for the discovery of subliminal channels and then in some detail , the nature and shortcomings of the subliminal channels in the El Gamal digital signature scheme - to which the DSS is closely related . Finally , to make clear what a remarkable coincidence it is that the apparently inherent shortcomings present in subliminal channels realized in the El Gamal scheme can all be overcome in channels realized in the DSS , each of the channels is analyzed in detail in both schemes . The inescapable conclusion , though , is that the DSS provides the most hospitable setting for subliminal communications discovered to date . |

CORRELATIVE IMAGE REGISTRATION . Image registration in nuclear medicine and radiology refers to the spatial matching or merging of two or more images from the same or different imaging (second user, second version, second user data) modalities . The coordinates of the corresponding picture elements (pixels) from different images (user identification data, extract second user data) are transformed to align and equate their positions and spatial coordinates . Correlative image registration is a more restrictive term that applies to the matching of spatial coordinates of images coming from different imaging modalities . The registration of correlative images provides a useful approach to combine the best sensitivities and specificities of complementary procedures to detect , locate , monitor , and measure pathological and other physical changes . Here we review the registration of images from nuclear medicine (single-photon emission computed tomography , positron emission tomography and planar imaging) with those from other imaging modalities (magnetic resonance imaging , computed tomography , digital subtraction angiography and ultrasound) to closely correlate changes in metabolism , blood flow , receptor density , and other functional measurements with regional anatomy and morphological changes .

STEPS TOWARD UNMASKING SECURE COMMUNICATIONS . This work tests the level of security in secure communication systems based on nonlinear dynamics (NLD) , or chaos . In these systems , a chaotic carrier signal is used in a type of spread-spectrum signaling system , with the added benefit that the hidden information signal is buried at something of the order of -30 dB with respect to the chaotic carrier . To investigate the level of security in such systems , an examination was conducted on a test set of chaotic carriers and hidden information signals prepared by the NLD research group at the Naval Research Lab . The hidden signals included a triangle wave , a period doubled signal , and a chaotic signal that was different from the choatic carrier . The analysis process was to use NLD forecasting to predict the carrier dynamics , and then subtract away the predicted values to reveal the hidden signal or at least increase its signal-to-noise ratio with respect to the carrier . In each case , it was a simple task to determine the power spectrum of the hidden signal once the prediction of the carrier was removed . This was then used to create a ''comb'' filter to extract the correct frequencies from the FFT of the first two signals . When this was done , the hidden signals were recreated with almost perfect accuracy . In the third case , the hidden chaotic signal had a broadband component , so the spectrum was used to develop a Weiner filter which enabled the hidden signal to be reconstructed with only moderate accuracy , where the overall structure of the hidden chaotic signal was preserved , but the fine structure was lost . As a further test , the processing approach was applied to a voice signal hidden in one-dimensional Lorenz data at -35 dB . After subtracting away the carrier model , the voice signal was reconstructed with reasonable accuracy , and had the same characteristic structure . In this case , no secondary filter (second version) ing was applied . The forecasting approach was then extended to allow for dynamic signal estimation using threshold detection , so that whenever a signal was detected , multiple predictions of the carrier behavior were made into the future . This was tested on a square wave embedded at -42 dB in Lorenz data . The extended approach was able to reveal the square wave with almost perfect precision , except in a few regions where it temporarily lost synchrony with the carrier . This allowed for the elimination of the secondary filtering requirement entirely . The final conclusion is that the secure communications systems based on chaotic carriers may be useful to increase privacy , but are not yet capable of providing a high level of security . The paper concludes with a discussion of measures which may be taken to improve the security of such systems so that they may be applicable to areas where higher security is required . |

REGISTRATION REVISITED . Image registration is important for numerous imaging applications such as three-dimensional reconstruction , multimodality correlations , image averaging and subtraction . Methods used for image registration are based upon either the shape and form of the image pairs or their densitometric relationships . This paper describes the algorithms used for five different registration methods ; frequency domain cross-correlation , spatial domain cross-correlation , principal axes/center of mass , fiducials and manual . These methods were compared in terms of their accuracy , efficiency and application with several different data types including different species and modalities . The underlying mathematical bases for each also are presented and compared . The results of the comparisons showed that image quality influenced the behavior of all methods . Images of the blockface provide an excellent reference for subsequent registration . These results also suggest that the statistical performance of various methods is not a reliable metric when distant and different images (user identification data, extract second user data) are registered . Visual comparisons by image overlap and pixel differencing illustrated that some methods are more prone to rotational error than others , especially when repeated pairwise registrations were computed along the rostral/caudal axis . |
