In order to keep the data secret, various techniques have been implemented to encrypt and decrypt the secret data. Cryptography is committed to the security of content, i.e. it cannot be restored with a given ciphertext. Steganography is to hide the existence of a communication channel in a stego. However, it has been difficult to construct a cipher (cypher) that simultaneously satisfy both channel and content security for secure communication. Inspired by the Cardan grille, this paper presents a new automated framework of grille cipher, this scheme can satisfy both content and channel security simultaneously. A simple practical cipher method called Digital Cardan Grille is proposed using semantic image inpainting. We also give the difference and connection between cryptography and steganography under this new grille cipher framework. Experimental results demonstrate the promising of the proposed method.
