Paper Abstract
The Least Significant Bit (LSB) embedding technique is a well-known and broadly employed method in multimedia
steganography, used mainly in applications involving single bit-plane manipulations in the spatial domain [1]. The key
advantages of LSB procedures are they are simple to understand, easy to implement, have high embedding capacity, and
can be resistant to steganalysis attacks. Additionally, the LSB approach has spawned numerous applications and can be
used as the basis of more complex techniques for multimedia data embedding. In the last several decades, hundreds of
new LSB or LSB variant methods have been developed in an effort to optimize capacity while minimizing detectability,
taking advantage of the overall simplicity of this method. LSB-steganalysis research has also intensified in an effort to
find new or improved ways to evaluate the performance of this widely used steganographic system. This paper reviews
and categorizes some of these major techniques of LSB embedding, focusing specifically on the spatial domain. Some
justification for establishing and identifying promising uses of a proposed SD-LSB centric taxonomy are discussed.
Specifically, we define a new taxonomy for SD-LSB embedding techniques with the goal of aiding researchers in tool
classification methodologies that can lead to advances in the state-of-the-art in steganography. With a common
framework to work with, researchers can begin to more concretely identify core tools and common techniques to
establish common standards of practice for steganography in general. Finally, we provide a summary on some of the
most common LSB embedding techniques followed by a proposed taxonomy standard for steganalysis.
