Ownership and Deterministic Watermarking of Digital Images via Polynomial Interpolation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method for the secure management of digital images formulated within the mathematical theory of polynomial interpolation. As main innovative features, our approach is based on a hierarchical joint ownership of the image by a trusted layered authority and on a deterministic watermarking procedure, embedding a short meaningful or random signature into the image. Experimental results show that the inserted signature can almost always be fully recovered even in presence of a reasonable amount of image degradation due to image processing operators, such as filtering, geometric distorsions and compression.

In recent literature many strategies for attacking and subverting a watermark have been presented. Such attacks suggest t ha t the ability t o embed non-erasable watermarks does not necessarily imply tha t the watermarking scheme can be used t o establish ownership. The main aim of this paper is t o formulate necessary and sufzcient requirements for a watermarking scheme t o be able t o resolve...
متن کاملImage Ownership Verification via Private Pattern and Watermarking Wavelet Filters
In this paper, we propose a watermarking scheme for the image ownership verification in terms of a private key pattern and wavelet filters. The watermarking is mainly achieved within the process of decomposition and reconstruction by forging watermark-carrying wavelet filters. This scheme improves the watermark robustness and invisibility since it maximally avoids inserting the watermark into t...

متن کاملResolving rightful ownerships with invisible watermarking techniques: limitations, attacks, and implications
Digital watermarks have been proposed in recent literature as a means for copyright protection of multimedia data. In this paper we address the capability of invisible watermarking schemes to resolve copyright ownership. We show that, in certain applications, rightful ownership cannot be resolved by current watermarking schemes alone. Specifically, we attack existing techniques by providing cou...
