This paper investigates the detection of information hidden by the Least Significant Bit (LSB) matching scheme. In a theoretical context of known image media parameters, two important results are presented. First, the use of hypothesis testing theory allows us to design the Most Powerful (MP) test. Second, a study of the MP test gives us the opportunity to analytically calculate its statistical performance in order to warrant a given probability of false-alarm. In practice when detecting LSB matching, the unknown image parameters have to be estimated. Based on the local estimator used in the Weighted Stego-image (WS) detector, a practical test is presented. A numerical comparison with state-of-the-art detectors shows the good performance of the proposed tests and highlights the relevance of the proposed methodology. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
