Abstract

The goal of this article is construction of steganalyzers capable of detecting a variety of embedding algorithms and possibly identifying the steganographic method. Since deep learning today can achieve markedly better performance than other machine learning tools, our detectors are deep residual convolutional neural networks. We explore binary classifiers trained as cover versus all stego, multi-class detectors, and bucket detectors in a feature space obtained as a concatenation of features extracted by networks trained on individual stego algorithms. The accuracy of the detector to identify steganography is compared with dedicated detectors trained for a specific embedding algorithm. While the loss of detection accuracy w.r.t. increasing number of steganographic algorithms increases only slightly as long as the embedding schemes are known, the ability of the detector to generalize to previously unseen steganography remains a challenging task.
