watermarking as one of its primary topics, was held in 1996

Techniques

There are many techniques to do watermarking in digital things:Spatial domain watermarking: LSB, in text

data, …Transform domain watermarking: frequency-

based watermarking, wavelet based watermarking○ Embedding the watermark in the transform

domain from carrier object (using DCT, DFT, DWT, …)

33

Techniques

LSB:Embedding:

○ Choosing some representation values (e.g pixels) of carrier object.

○ Embed the bits of message (watermark) to LSBs of representation valueMessage ‘A’: 100 0001Carrier object: RGB (2 bits)

Techniques

LSB:Detector:

○ Retrieve the watermark by having the knowledge of the representation values (e.g pixels) used for embedding individuals bits

Techniques

Spread spectrumUsing frequency domain transform to

convert the input image into another domain and embedding the watermark to this domain.

Attacks

The actions take effect on the watermark embedded in carrier objects.Affects:

○ Destroying the watermark or modifying the watermark with new wrong information.

○ Removing the watermark entirely.But: not degrading the quality of carrier

objects (image, audio, video)Relating to a requirements of watermarking:

Robustness

43

Attacks Classification:

From proscessing carrier objects○ Common signal processing: digital-to-analog and

analog-to-digital conversion, or change image contrast, color, JPEG compression, …

○ Common geometric distortions: scaling, rotating, cropping, dithering …

From attacker○ Mosaic○ Collusion attacks: get the watermark or remove

watermarks entirely to get the original work.○ …

Attacks How to protect watermarks from attacks

Understanding and applying new researchs in watermarking

Using StirMark Benchmark evaluation engine to evaluate your watermarking scheme○ “All vendors of digital watermarks have their

products benchmarked by Stirmark and as of August 2001, no watermark from any vendor survives the test, ie: the watermarks are all removed without degradation to image quality occurring. “
