Public watermarks and resistance to tampering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Public watermarks allow embedded signals to be extracted from audio and video content for a variety of purposes. One application is for copyright control, where it is envisaged that digital video recorders will not permit the recording of content that is watermarked as "never copy". In such a scenario, it is important that the watermark survive both normal signal transformations and attempts to remove the watermark so that an illegal copy can be made. In this paper, we discuss to what extent a public watermark can be resistant to tampering and describe a variety of possible

متن کاملEnsuring Media Integrity on Third-Party Infrastructures
In many heterogeneous networked applications the integrity of multimedia data plays an essential role, but is not directly supported by the application. In this paper, we propose a method which enables an individual user to detect tampering with a multimedia file without changing the software application provided by the third party. Our method is based on a combination of cryptographic signatur...
متن کاملDetecting tampering in audio-visual content using QIM watermarking
This paper presents a framework for detecting tampered information in digital audio-visual content. The proposed framework uses a combination of temporal and spatial watermarks that do not decrease the quality of host videos. A modified version of the Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) algorithm is used to embed watermarks. The fragility of the QIM watermarking algorithm makes it possible to d...
متن کاملTampering Detection Scheme for Speech Signals using Formant Enhancement Based Watermarking
Unauthorized tampering in speech signals has brought serious problems when verifying their originality and integrity. Digital watermarking can effectively check if the original speech signals have been tampered by embedding digital data into them. To be effective, watermarking method should be implemented according to four requirements of (1) inaudibility to human auditory system, (2) blindness...
متن کاملA review of watermarking and the importance ofperceptual
A watermark embeds an imperceptible signal into data such as audio, video and images, for a variety of purposes, including captioning and copyright control. In this paper, we rst outline the desirable characteristics of digital watermarks. Previous work in digital watermarking is then reviewed. Early work identiied redundant properties of an image (or its encoding) that can be modiied to encode...
