CycleGAN-Based Adversarial Learning for Enhanced Steganographic Image Detection
摘要
This paper presents a steganalysis approach using Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (CycleGAN) for detecting steganographic content in digital images. The proposed method utilizes the BOSSbase dataset and implements a deep learning framework to distinguish between cover images and their steganographic counterparts. By leveraging the cycle consistency property of CycleGANs, proposed approach captures the intricate differences between clean and stego images, providing improved detection capabilities. The framework demonstrates effectiveness at medium and high embedding rates across various steganographic algorithms, offering enhanced generalization compared to traditional steganalysis methods. Through comprehensive experimentation, we evaluate the system’s performance in terms of detection accuracy, false positive rates, and computational efficiency. The results indicate that the CycleGAN-based approach provides a robust solution for modern steganalysis challenges in digital forensics applications.
