This article analyzes the stability of control information embedded in digital images to external influences using various steganographic methods. The principles of introducing control information into images using popular steganography methods such as least significant bit substitution (LSB), the Koch and Zhao method, and the spectrum expansion method are considered. The study involves extracting control information from digital images that have been subjected to preliminary noise overlay. The main focus is on assessing the stability of each of the methods in conditions where the stegocontainer (an image with embedded information) is exposed to noise. The results of the study are presented in the form of graphs demonstrating the dependence of the probability of extracting an error from a stegocontainer on the level of pre-applied noise. The comparative assessment allows us to draw conclusions about the comparative effectiveness and resistance of each of the methods to external influences, which may be useful for developing more reliable methods of protecting digital images.
