Abstract: Steganography is accomplished by frequency or spatial domain. In spatial domain method, the important data are inserted directly into the image’s pixels. Alternatively, the coefficients of the image frequency transform like DCT are used to carry the important data. Robustness in the presence of a noise is important. In this paper, the robustness over a noisy channel with noise like Added White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), salt and pepper noise and Speckle noise is investigated. The bit error rate is used for system evaluation. Simulation outcomes demonstrate that the frequency based model is stronger than spatial method against channel noise. Moreover, robustness is enhanced via using error correction.
