By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Computers, Networks & Communications -- New research on Information Technology - Information and Data Encoding and Encryption is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating from Anhui, People’s Republic of China, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “Reversible data hiding in encrypted domain (RDH-ED) has greatly attracted researchers as the original content can be losslessly reconstructed after the embedded data are extracted, while the content owner’s privacy remains protected. Most of the existing RDH-ED algorithms are designed for grayscale/color images, which cannot be directly applied to other carriers, such as three-dimensional (3D) meshes.”
Financial support for this research came from Natural Science Foundation of China.
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the China University of Science and Technology, “With the rapid development of 3D related applications, 3D models have been widely used on the Internet, which motivated us to design a reliable RDH-ED scheme for 3D meshes. The proposed method maps decimals of the vertex coordinates into integers first, so that a bit-stream encryption technique can be executed. With a data-hiding key, several least-significant bits are operated to embed data. By using the encryption key, a receiver can roughly reconstruct the content of the mesh. According to the data-hiding key, with the aid of spatial correlation in natural mesh models, the embedded data can be successfully extracted and the original mesh can be perfectly recovered.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Experiments show that the proposed method has a high data-embedding payload, maintains high values of the decrypted meshes, and has low computational complexity.”

So... here's a thought, after the information is encoded into the 3d model, can it be recovered if the model is printed on a 3d printer from the printed out model? Imagine sending secret messages by printing out widgets and sending them in a box to your recipient...
