Abstract
This rebuttal is a response to the correspondence [3] from Dragoi and Coltuc about the security flaws in our proposed approach, "Embedded Prediction Errors-based High Capacity Reversible Data Hiding (EPE-HCRDH) in encrypted images" published in IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security in 2018 [4]. After providing an examination of the EPE-HCRDH approach, we detail several solutions that have already been proposed using state-of-the-art methods. Through visual security level analysis, we show that the very recent methods described are efficient to correct the security flaws.
