Thank you professor, I am working on bio-signal steganography .can you please help me with the second question. how to find sensitivity and specificity for a stegnography technique.
In steganalysis we have two classes, positive corresponding to stego samples, and negative corresponding to cover samples.Now we define the following measurements (taken directly from this article : Comprehensive Review of Audio Steganalysis Methods, IET Signal processing, 2018, DOI: 10.1049/iet-spr.2016.0651):
- True negative (TN): the number of cover samples that are classified as cover samples.
- True positive (TP): the number of stego samples that are classified as stego samples.
- False negative (FN): the number of stego samples that are classified as cover samples.
False positive (FP): the number of cover samples that are classified as stego samples.
True positive rate (sensitivity) is the probability of detection of stego samples correctly and it is calculated as:
Sen = TP/(TP+FN)
True negative rate (specificity) is the probability of detection of cover samples correctly and it is calculated as:
Spe= TN/(TN+FP)
Accuracy (Ac.) is the probability of correct classification and it is calculated as:
Ac = (TP+TN)/(TP+FN+TN+FP)
for the second question you need to generate a database using your steganography method, then implement a relevant steganalysis method and apply it on your database.
