Texture based attacks on intrinsic signature based printer identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several methods exist for printer identification from a printed document. We have developed a system that performs printer identification using intrinsic signatures of the printers. Because an intrinsic signature is tied directly to the electromechanical properties of the printer, it is difficult to forge or remove. There are many instances where existance of the intrinsic signature in the printed document is undesireable. In this work we explore texture based attacks on intrinsic printer identification from text documents. An updated intrinsic printer identification system is presented that merges both texture and banding features. It is shown that this system is scable and robust against several types of attacks that one may use in an attempt to obscure the intrinsic signature.

An ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

Printer identification based on printed documents can provide forensic information to protect copyright and verify authenticity. In addition to intrinsic features (intrinsic signatures) of the printer, modulating the printing process to embed specific signature (extrinsic signatures) will further extend the encoding capacity. In this paper we describe the use of laser modulation in electrophoto...

متن کاملApplication of Principal Components Analysis and Gaussian Mixture Models to Printer Identification
Printer identification based on a printed document has many desirable forensic applications. In the electrophotographic process (EP) quasiperiodic banding artifacts can be used as an effective intrinsic signature. However, in text only document analysis, the absence of large midtone areas makes it difficult to capture suitable signals for banding detection. Frequency domain analysis based on th...
