A New Binary Image Authentication Scheme with Small Distortion and Low False Negative Rates

In this study, a novel binary image authentication scheme is proposed, which can be used to detect any alteration of the host image. In the proposed scheme, the watermark is embedded into a host image using a Hamming-code-based embedding algorithm. A performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme achieves both smaller distortion and lower false negative rates than the previous schemes. key words: image authentication, binary image, fragile watermarking, multimedia security
