Minimum distortion steganography is currently the mainstream method for
modification-based steganography. A key issue in this method is how to define
steganographic distortion. With the rapid development of deep learning
technology, the definition of distortion has evolved from manual design to deep
learning design. Concurrently, rapid advancements in image generation have made
generated images viable as cover media. However, existing distortion design
methods based on machine learning do not fully leverage the advantages of
generated cover media, resulting in suboptimal security performance. To address
this issue, we propose GIFDL (Generated Image Fluctuation Distortion Learning),
a steganographic distortion learning method based on the fluctuations in
generated images. Inspired by the idea of natural steganography, we take a
series of highly similar fluctuation images as the input to the steganographic
distortion generator and introduce a new GAN training strategy to disguise
stego images as fluctuation images. Experimental results demonstrate that
GIFDL, compared with state-of-the-art GAN-based distortion learning methods,
exhibits superior resistance to steganalysis, increasing the detection error
rates by an average of 3.30% across three steganalyzers.
