Журнал «Информационные технологии и вычислительные системы» - I. A. Krivosheev, M. A. Linnik Identification Parameter for the Selection of Stego-Carriers

The article proposes a number of identification parameters for images used in the transfer of information by steganography methods as stego-carriers. The developed algorithms make it possible to rank images in search of the most optimal, taking into account the peculiarities of the human visual system and individual structural features of the image. The experiments carried out show the work of the identification parameters and their compliance with the stated goals.
