The watermarking of digital images, audio, video and multimedia products in general has been proposed for resolving copyright ownership and verifying originality of content. This paper studies the contribution of watermarking for developing protection schemes. A general watermarking framework (GWF) is studied and the fundamental demands are listed. The watermarking algorithms, namely watermark ...

Embedding a hidden stream of bits in a file is called Digital Watermarking. The file could be an image, audio, video or text. Nowadays, digital watermarking has many applications such as broadcast monitoring, owner identification, proof of ownership, transaction tracking, content authentication, copy control, device control, and file reconstruction (Cox et. al., 2008). In literature, the host f...

Watermarking embeds a secret message into a cover message. In media watermarking the secret is usually a copyright notice and the cover a digital image. Watermarking an object discourages intellectual property theft, or when such theft has occurred, allows us to prove ownership. The Software Watermarking problem can be described as follows. Embed a structure W into a program P such that: W can ...

Digital Image Watermarking is the procedure of embedding message/information/logo into a digital image which may be used to verify its accuracy or the uniqueness of its user. The data is also passed in copy, if the image watermarked is to be copied. Too many Image watermarking methods have to be proposed in digital watermarking. We have study a variety of methods in this paper, the way to expre...

The paper introduces the digital watermarking technology which is a data hiding technique that embeds a message into a multimedia work such as an image or text or other digital object. The proposed technique has several important applications; the majorly important is the digital copyrights protection. The digital watermarking system as any other data hiding technique has its own requirements t...

Numeric sets can be used to store and distribute important information such as currency exchange rates and stock forecasts. It is useful to watermark such data for proving ownership in case of illegal distribution by someone. This paper analyzes the numerical set watermarking model presented by Sion et. al in “On watermarking numeric sets”, identifies it’s weaknesses, and proposes a novel schem...

Watermarking as a powerful technique for copyright protection, content verification, covert communication and so on, has been studied for years, and is drawing more and more attention recently. There are many situations in which embedding multiple watermarks in an image is desired. This paper proposes an effective approach to embed dual watermarks by extending the single watermarking algorithms...

Digital watermarking is a method which is used to verify texts, image, video etc. Watermarking Technique is not only used for Authentication, it’s also used for security, image protection, rights of documents. In this perspective experiment we used edge detection technique in watermarking for the purpose of highly authentication of image. Here we used combined approach of LSB-DCT watermarking f...

Nowadays, there is an explosive growth in the digital multimedia creation, capturing, processing and distribution. Protecting the multimedia contents from copyright infringement has become a major concern. Encryption and watermarking are two complementary techniques that are used for protecting the multimedia data. In this paper, a proposed hybrid encryption-watermarking algorithm for copyright...

Digital watermarking is a technology which potentially can be used to enforce the copyrights and integrity of digital multimedia data. In this paper, a communications perspective on digital watermarking is used to compute upper performance limits on blind digital watermarking for simple AWGN attacks and attacks by amplitude scaling and additive white noise. We show that the latter case can be t...
