Abstract: In order to hide message information (m) in media information (M), the frequency transform of the message information (m) and the media information (M) are performed, and frequency spectra f1 and f2 are obtained. Next, from the frequency spectrum f2 of the message information (m), a region containing feature frequency components representative of the features of the message information (m) in real space is extracted as the base region B. Then, n copies of the base region B are generated, and in frequency space, the n copies are dispersedly arranged. Also, by making the frequency components other than that equal to zero, a frequency spectrum f3 is generated as intermediate information. Finally, the frequency spectrum f3 and the frequency spectrum f1 are added, and by performing the inverse frequency transform of the result, the message information (m) can be hidden in the media information (M).
