A Watermarking Scheme for MP3 Audio Files
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present for the first time in our perception an efficient digital watermarking scheme for mpeg audio layer 3 files that operates directly in the compressed data domain, while manipulating the time and subband/channel domain. In addition, it does not need the original signal to detect the watermark. Our scheme was implemented taking special care for the efficient usage of the two limited resources of computer systems: time and space. It offers to the industrial user the capability of watermark embedding and detection in time immediately comparable to the real music time of the original audio file that depends on the mpeg compression, while the end user/audience does not face any artifacts or delays hearing the watermarked audio file. Furthermore, it overcomes the disadvantage of algorithms operating in the PCMData domain to be vulnerable to compression/recompression attacks, as it places the watermark in the scale factors domain and not in the digitized sound audio data. The strength of our scheme, that allows it to be used with success in both authentication and copyright protection, relies on the fact that it gives to the users the enhanced capability their ownership of the audio file not to be accomplished simply by detecting the bit pattern that comprises the watermark itself, but by showing that the legal owner knows a hard to compute property of the watermark. Keywords—Audio watermarking, mpeg audio layer 3, hard instance generation, NP-completeness.

Random Sample Audio Watermarking Algorithm for Compressed Wave Files
In this research work, various audio watermarking techniques have been studied and investigated. A novel audio watermarking method is proposed in which watermark is added transparently after ADPCM (Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation). In the proposed scheme we have used random sample instead of fixed or low frequency carriers to embed the watermark into the audio bit stream. Proposed t...
متن کاملDigital Audio Watermarking Techniques for MP3 Audio Files
Nowadays, a vast amount of information concerning all aspects of human activity is digitised with the goal of profit. One of the most prominent examples is the music industry that now markets audio data mainly in the form of MPEG Audio Layer 3 files rather than on CDs or DVDs. The MP3 audio files are distributed as digital files through various communication means and can easily be copied and r...

A method to implement digital audio watermarking in the frequency domain is presented. The embedding is performed by using chaos based sequences to increase the signature hiding properties. The proposed scheme takes into account the MPEG psychoacoustic model I to improve the robustness against the MP3 compression. Some tests have been performed to verify the system robustness against the MP3 co...
