Abstract: Steganography is the art of hiding a secret message signal inside a publicly visible carrier with minimum perceptual loss in the carrier. In order to better hide information, it is critical to optimally represent the message-carrier wave interference while blending the message with the carrier. We propose HyperSteg: a novel steganography method in the hyperbolic space grounded in the hyperbolic properties of wave interference. Through hyperbolic learning, HyperSteg learns to better represent the hyperbolic properties of message-carrier interference with minimum additional computational cost. Through extensive experiments over image and audio datasets, we introduce HyperSteg as a practical, model and modality agnostic approach for information hiding.
