Detection in quantization-based watermarking: performance and security issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel method for detection in quantization-based watermarking is introduced. This method basically works by quantizing a projection of the host signal onto a subspace of smaller dimensionality. A theoretical performance analysis under AWGN and fixed gain attacks is carried out, showing great improvements over traditional spread-spectrum-based methods operating under the same conditions of embedding distortion and attacking noise. A security analysis for oracle-like attacks is also accomplished, proposing a sensitivity attack suited to quantization-based methods for the first time in the literature, and showing a trade-off between security level and performance; anyway, this new method offers significant improvements in security, once again, over spread-spectrum-based methods facing the same kind of attacks.

Proposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...
متن کاملAnalysis and Improving the Security of the Scalar Costa Scheme against Known Message Attack
Unintentional attacks on watermarking schemes lead to degrade the watermarking channel, while intentional attacks try to access the watermarking channel. Therefore, watermarking schemes should be robust and secure against unintentional and intentional attacks respectively. Usual security attack on watermarking schemes is the Known Message Attack (KMA). Most popular watermarking scheme with stru...

In this paper a wavelet-based logo watermarking scheme is presented. The logo watermark is embedded into all sub-blocks of the LLn sub-band of the transformed host image, using quantization technique. Extracted logos from all sub-blocks are merged to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. Knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet tra...

This paper focuses on the analysis and enhancement of watermark-based security strategies for multimedia authentication. Based on an authentication game between a transmitter and its authorized receiver, and an opponent, security of authentication watermarking is measured by the opponent’s inability to launch a successful attack. In this work, we consider two traditional classes of security for...
