Moreover, they are known to be insecure in steganography context according to the Cachins' security definition because they distort the stego-signal probability density function. In this paper, we show that using the well-known spread transform (ST) combining with quantization based embedding systems provides an ε-secure stego-system in the sense of Cachin's security definition. In other words, we show theoretically that this system preserves, in the sense of the relative entropy, the probability density function of the stego-signal as long as the ratio between the quantization step and the square root of the spreading factor is small. This highlights the fundamental tradeoff between these two quantities. Our theoretical conclusions are validated and illustrated on real images. Finally, a comparison with the Solanki et al. blind steganographic scheme is given.
