This paper focuses on digital fingerprinting, a technology that facilitates the tracing of the source of an illegal redistribution, making it possible for the copyright holder to take legal action in case of copyright violation. The paper reviews recent digital fingerprinting solutions that are available for two particularly relevant scenarios: peer-to-peer distribution networks and broadcasting. After analyzing those solutions, a discussion is carried out to highlight the properties and the limitations of those techniques. Finally, some directions for further research on this topic are suggested. Keywords: copyright infringement; piracy tracing; fingerprinting; peer-to-peer distribution; broadcasting 1. Introduction Nowadays, digital technologies allow users to generate near-perfect quality identical copies of the content at low costs. Therefore, the amount of the digital data that is illegally redistributed is growing, making businesses lose income. Content creators and multimedia producers are concerned about the consequences of illegal copying and redistribution on a massive scale. Consequently, the need for a protection system that can provide copyright protection by prosecuting unauthorized copying has arisen in recent years.

Thingd aSchool of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639798. bCollege of Information Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China. cDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ 07102, USA. dCyber Security & Intelligence Department, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore 138632. Abstract Digital audio watermarking is an important technique to secure and au- thenticate audio media. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the twenty years’ research and development works for digital audio watermark- ing, based on an exhaustive literature survey and careful selections of rep- resentative solutions. We generally classify the existing designs into time domain and transform domain methods, and relate all the reviewed works using two generic watermark embedding equations in the two domains. The most important designing criteria, i.e., imperceptibility and robustness, are thoroughly reviewed. For imperceptibility, the existing measurement and control approaches are classified into heuristic and analytical types, followed by intensive analysis and discussions. Then, we investigate the robustness of the existing solutions against a wide range of critical attacks categorized into basic, desynchronization, and replacement attacks, respectively. This reveals current challenges in developing a global solution robust against all the attacks considered in this paper. Some remaining problems as well as research potentials for better system designs are also discussed. In addition, audio watermarking applications in terms of US patents and commercialized solutions are reviewed. This paper serves as a comprehensive tutorial for interested readers to gain a historical, technical, and also commercial view of digital audio watermarking.

These water markings techniques are used to Coded anti-piracy, attack, constellation, Pattern,Steganography. Basically very helpful in medical sciences and authenticating various products. The watermark images in these strategies are binary images and the pixels in the two halftone images are interrelated or not depending on whether the corresponding pixel in the watermark. In these strategies, the watermark is binary and does not contain detailed features. Digital Watermarking is based on the fact of “perceptual invisibility,” this paper makes a study of the maximum watermarking of spatial domain image, which is related to not only embedding intensity, but also to factors such as the size of image, image roughness and visual sensitivity, and so forth.

  • Security Authentication of Dual Chaotic Image Watermarking in Spatial Domain with Spatial and Frequency Domain Characteristics Analysis
    Article Security Authentication of Dual Chaotic Image Watermarking in Spatial Domain with Spatial and Frequency Domain Characteristics Analysis Zhengmao Ye 1,* , Hang Yin 1 and Yongmao Ye 2 1 College of Engineering, Southern University, Baton Rouge, LA 70813, USA; [email protected] 2 Liaoning Radio and Television Station, Shenyang 110003, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 July 2018; Accepted: 15 October 2018; Published: 17 October 2018 Abstract: This article presents an advanced dual chaotic watermarking scheme to improve information security. To ensure confidentiality in digital image transmission, a secure dual watermarking scheme is proposed by applying the chaotic logistic system and hyper-chaotic dynamical system. Chaotic watermarking was conducted in the spatial domain, where suboptimal secure hashing with a variable length was selected in preprocessing stages. The secret key was generated by the chaotic sequence for pixel shuffling using a chaotic logistic map, so that a controlled amount of distortion was inserted into the host digital image. Watermarking was proceeded after the chaotic watermark had been embedded into the shuffled image. To strengthen the security, the hyper-chaotic system was used to generate chaotic blocks for block scrambling in order to achieve dual chaotic watermarking. Characteristics analysis was conducted for multiple examples in both spatial and frequency domains. Potential effects induced by the chaotic driving parameter on processing time and integrity authentication of chaotic dual watermarking were also analyzed in detail. Keywords: watermarking; information security; logistic map; hyper-chaotic system; hashing; shuffling; scrambling 1. Introduction With rapid development of digital communication and computer networks, it becomes feasible to guarantee transmission security against malicious tampering or copyright infringement.

Musa3 1, 2Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, 3Department of Engineering Technology 1, 2, 3Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, TX 77446, United States DOI: 10.23956/ijarcsse/V7I6/01610 Abstract- Digital watermarks are often used to provide copyright protection for intellectual property and help the fight against electronic copyright infringement. They can be repeated at random locations within the content to make them difficult to detect. Developments in computer science, cryptography, digital signal processing, and information theory have all contributed to the success of digital watermarking. This paper provides a brief introduction to digital watermarking. Keywords: digital watermarking, forensic watermark, steganography I. INTRODUCTION The enormous use of computer networks such as the Internet and world wide web has led to the creation and delivery of content in digitally formatted form. The possibility for digital attacks such as forgery, stealing, copying, and altering the digital data has also increased. This has led to the need to protect ownership of digital information or digital media (image, text, video, audio, PDF, etc.), data tempering, and data integrity. Watermarking is an effective mechanism to address the problem and safeguard the digital contents that is created by the proliferation of digital information. A watermark is a name or logo stamped in the makeup of a document. Traditional watermarks have been used for years on letterhead or checks to prove authenticity.

  • A Secure Digital Camera Architecture for Integrated Real-Time Digital Rights Management
    A Secure Digital Camera Architecture for Integrated Real-Time Digital Rights Management Saraju P. Mohanty VLSI Design and CAD Laboratory (VDCL) Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203, USA. Abstract This paper presents a novel concept of a secure digital camera (SDC) with a built-in watermarking and encryption facility. The motivation is to facilitate real-time digital rights management (DRM) by using the SDC right at the source end of multimedia content. The emerging field of DRM systems addresses the issues related to the intellectual property rights of digital content. The use of digital watermarking along with encryption for effective DRM is proposed. In this context, a novel discrete cosine transform domain invisible-robust watermarking method that uses cryptography and watermarking methods simultaneously to provide a double layer of protection to digital media is presented. The proposed method securely hides binary images in color image media and securely extracts and authenticates it by using a secret key. Experimental results prove that the proposed technique is resilient to stringent watermarking attacks. Hence, it is an effective method for providing protection of ownership rights. The corresponding application-specific architectures for invisible-robust watermarking and Rijndael advanced encryption standard (AES) towards the prototyping of the SDC are presented. The proposed architectures are modeled and synthesized for field programmable gate array (FPGA). The soft cores in the form of hardware description language resulting from this research can serve as intellectual- property core and can be integrated with any multimedia-producing electronic appliances which are built as embedded systems using system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology.
