Forensics, Anti-forensics and Counter Anti-forensics for JPEG Compressed Images

Abstract

Abstract---With the advancement in information technology and image processing software the manipulation of the images has increased considerably from past few decades. Retouching or tampering of the images has been so prevalent that nowadays one can hardly believe their originality. Image authenticity is done using forgery detection techniques. These methods are broadly classified as active and passive. Aim of this paper is to give state of art for a passive detection technique i.e. JPEG double compression. Its forensics, anti-forensics and counter anti-forensics is presented with a review of technologies that exist so far.
