Assumption: Qualitatively, The Probability Distribution, P

Cachin's definition of steganographic security assumes that a sender (Alice) can transmit any cover work (e.g. photograph) to a recipient (Bob) as long as it comes from a probability distribution representing the warden's (Eve) knowledge of legitimate transmissions. For example, Eve may expect only family photos, making non-family photos more suspicious. A steganographic scheme embeds a message into a cover work using an embedding function to create a stego work, following probability distributions for the cover work, stego key, and message. Cachin analyzed the warden's performance using hypothesis testing - Eve must decide if a work contains a hidden message or not based on whether it follows

Cachins definition of steganographic security assumes that the warden will permit Alice to send

any cover Work, c, to Bob, provided it is drawn from a probability distribution, PC. And PC(c) is the
probability of drawing a cover Work, c, from this distribution.
Assumption: Qualitatively, the probability distribution, PC, represents Eves knowledge of what
types of transmissions between Alice and Bob are legitimate. For example, it might be that Eve
expects Alice and Bob to only transmit family photos. Thus, provided a photograph, c, contains an
image of one or more family members, then the image has a finite probability, PC(c), of being
generated from this distribution. Conversely, a photograph of Queen Elizabeth would have a very
low or zero probability of deriving from the assumed distribution, PC, and therefore a very high
likelihood, in Eves mind, of being suspicious.
A steganographic scheme is formed by two mappings: the embedding mapping, Emb, and the
extraction mapping, Ext. The embedding function assigns a stego Work, s, to each combination of
the cover Work, c C, stego key, Ks K, and message, m M. Assuming the cover Work is drawn
from the space of all possible cover Works with probability distribution, PC, and the stego key as
well as the message are uniformly distributed over their corresponding spaces, K, M, the
distribution of stego Works will be denoted as PS.
What Actualy Cachine's define?
Cachin analyzed the wardens performance using the theory of hypothesis testing. Thus, given a
Work, c, Eve must decide between two hypotheses: H0 represents the hypothesis that the Work does
not contain a hidden message and H1 represents the hypothesis that the Work does contain a hidden
message. If hypothesis H0 is true then the observation, c, is drawn from the distribution, PC.
Conversely, if hypothesis H1 is true then the observation, c, is drawn from the distribution, PS.
