Novel copyright protection scheme for digital content

A novel copyright protection scheme for digital content is presented, which is a private watermarking scheme based on the watermark embedding in the DCT domain and watermark extraction Using independent component analysis （ICA）. The system includes the key for watermark extraction and the host image. The algorithm splits the original image into blocks and classifies these blocks based on visual masking, that is, noise visibility function （NVF）. Watermark components with different strength are inserted into chosen direct current components of DCT coefficients according to the classifier. The watermark extraction is based on the characteristic of the statistic independence of the host image, watermark and key. Principle component analysis （PCA） whitening process and FastICA techniques are introduced to ensure a blind watermark extraction without requiring the original image. Experirnental results show the proposed technique is robust under attacks such as image filtering and adding noise, cropping and resizing. In addition, the proposed private watermarking system can be improved to the application of the DTV content protection system.

Transparent System for Digital Media Copyright Protection in Mobile Business

At present, in mobile business, the secure environment in the terminal of users has not been embedded, many cryptology-based methods can not be directly used to protect the copyright of digital media. Under this situation, a transparent system based on watermark for digital right management and digital copyright protection is proposed in this paper. The transparent system is called WDRM （watermark-based digital rights management） and transparent to users. Its core is WDRM Agent. In this paper, system inner model and procession are designed in detail at first, including the registration, the downloading, the super distribution, and the cooperation. Because the watermark embedding and the extraction algorithms are the kernel in this architecture, we also discuss how to choose and design the algorithms. Then we establish a package for all algorithms in WDRM Agent.

Lossless and High Robust Watermarking of Electronic Chart for Copyright Protection

With the progression of sea exploration and offshore engineering, electronic charts have come to see widespread use in many intelligent applications. Like other digital products, electronic charts are easy to duplicate and distribute. Some watermarking solutions have proven defective to prevent copying of electronic charts because it’s as easy to forge as it is to redistribute. If the problems of copyright infringement cannot be solved, the creation of these electronic charts will be limited. The most important characteristic of electronic charts is the topological relationships among vertices, but few algorithms can control this feature. A new watermarking algorithm is here proposed as a means of copyright protection, in which the watermarks will be hosted in the electronic chart by taking into account the preservation of the topology. Sometimes, additional vertices are inserted into the middle of two adjacent vertices, sometimes not, which are governed by the value of the watermark. Experiments show that the improved algorithm is better than similar algorithms; it was found to resist geometric attacks and format exchange attacks.

Fragile Watermarking Based on Robust Hidden Information

Block-wise fragile watermarks can be used to reveal maliciously tampered areas in multimedia products. However a forged content containing a cloned fragile watermark can be constructed by using a series of watermarked data. To defeat this type of counterfeit attack, a novel fragile watermarking technique is proposed in which different pseudo-random data are selected for different host products, and the generated fragile watermark is dependent upon the selected information. While inserting the fragile watermark, the pseudo-random information is also robustly embedded into the host data. Because of the difference between the selected information, different watermarked data cannot be used to forge illegal contents containing a valid fragile watermark.

Digital Watermarking Scheme for Securing Textual Database Using Histogram Shifting Model

Information security is one of the most important methods of protecting the confidentiality and privacy of internet users.The greater the volume of data,the more the need to increase the security methods for protecting data from intruders.This task can be challenging for researchers in terms of managing enormous data and maintaining their safety and effectiveness.Protection of digital content is a major issue in maintaining the privacy and secrecy of data.Toward this end,digital watermarking is based on the concept of information security through the insertion and detection of an embedded watermark in an efficient manner.Recent methodologies in the research on digital watermarking result in data distortion after embedding the watermark.This scenario can reduce the efficiency of detecting watermarks as well as violate data confidentiality.This study adapts a robust reversible histogram shifting(HS)technique for textual data in relational databases.Furthermore,the study presents a digital watermarking scheme intended for document copyright protection and proof of ownership.The major advantage of the proposed watermarking scheme is that it can protect digital data and preserve data quality.To the best of our knowledge,this research methodology is promising for use in the HS expansion model for watermarking data on nonnumeric databases.In addition,the results showed that despite exposing the database to an insertion attacks at 50%and 75%of the watermark,the proposed algorithm can recovermore than half of the embedded watermark in all addition and alteration attacks cases.As a result,the watermark information can be retained and restored completely.

A Robust Digital Watermarking Algorithm Based on Finite-Set Discrete Radon Transform Tight Frame

Digital watermarking technology plays a powerful role in the effective protection of digital media copyright, image authentication, image sharing, image information transmission and other fields. Driven by strong demand, digital image watermarking technology has aroused widespread research interest and has gradually developed into one of the most active research directions in information science. In this paper, we present a novel robust digital watermarking algorithm based on discrete radon transform tight frame in finite-set (FDRT). FDRT of the zero mean image is a tight frame, the frame boundary A = B = 1, the dual of the frame is itself. The decomposition and reconstruction of the FDRT tight frame will not cause the phenomenon of image distortion. The embedding of hidden watermark is to add a weak signal to the strong background of the original image. Watermark extraction is to effectively identify the embedded weak signal. The feasibility of the watermarking algorithm is analyzed from two aspects of information hiding and robustness. We select the independent Gaussian random vector as the watermark series, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) as the visual degradation criterion of the watermark image. Basing the FDRT compact stand dual operator, we derived the relationship among the strength parameter, square sum of watermark series, the PSNR. Using Checkmark system, the simulation results show that the algorithm is robust enough to some very important image processing attacks such as lossy compression, MAP, filtering, segmentation, edge enhancement, jitter, quadratic modulation and general geometric attack (scaling, rotation, shearing), etc.

Information hiding scheme for vector maps based on fingerprint certification

An information hiding scheme for vector maps is presented to identify the source after the vector map is leaked in some key application areas. In this scheme, the fingerprint image of the map owner can be converted into a character string as the watermark, and then the watermark will be embedded into the coordinate descriptions of the attribute file by the "0-bit value" programming method. This programming algorithm ensures that the accuracy is lossless and the graphics is unchanged for any vector map. Experiments show that the presented hiding scheme has stable robustness, the average similarity rate is 97.2% for fingerprints matching and the false non-match rate is 1.38% in the blocking test. In the opening test, the former reaches 84.46% and the latter reaches 5.56%.

A Novel Database Watermarking Technique Using Blockchain as Trusted Third Party

With widespread use of relational database in various real-life applications,maintaining integrity and providing copyright protection is gaining keen interest of the researchers.For this purpose,watermarking has been used for quite a long time.Watermarking requires the role of trusted third party and a mechanism to extract digital signatures(watermark)to prove the ownership of the data under dispute.This is often inefficient as lots of processing is required.Moreover,certain malicious attacks,like additive attacks,can give rise to a situation when more than one parties can claim the ownership of the same data by inserting and detecting their own set of watermarks from the same data.To solve this problem,we propose to use blockchain technology—as trusted third party—along with watermarking for providing a means of rights protection of relational databases.Using blockchain for writing the copyright information alongside watermarking helps to secure the watermark as changing the blockchain is very difficult.This way,we combined the resilience of our watermarking scheme and the strength of blockchain technology—for protecting the digital rights information from alteration—to design and implement a robust scheme for digital right protection of relational databases.Moreover,we also discuss how the proposed scheme can also be used for version control.The proposed technique works with nonnumeric features of relational database and does not target only selected tuple or portion(subset)from the database for watermark embedding unlike most of the existing techniques;as a result,the chances of subset selection containing no watermark decrease automatically.The proposed technique employs zerowatermarking approach and hence no intentional error(watermark)is added to the original dataset.The results of the experiments proved the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

DWT-Based Robust Color Image Watermarking Scheme

A scheme of embedding an encrypted watermark into the green component of a color image is proposed. The embedding process is implemented in the discrete wavelet transformation （DWT） domain, The original binary watermark image is firstly encrypted through scrambling technique, and then spread with two orthogonal pseudo-random sequences whose mean values are equal to zero, and finally embedded into the DWT low frequency sub-band of green components, The coefficients whose energies are larger than the others are selected to hide watermark, and the hidden watermark strength is determined by the energy ratio between the selected coefficients energies and the mean energy of the subband. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme is very robust against the attacks such as additive noise, low-pass filtering, scaling, cropping image, row （or column ） deleting, and }PEG compression.

A ROBUST METHOD FOR FINGERPRINTING DIGITAL IMAGES

In this paper, a method to fingerprint digital images is proposed, and different watermarked copies with different identification string are made. After determining the number of the customers and the length of the watermark string, this method chooses some values inside the digital image using a characteristic function, and adds watermarks to these values in a way that can protect the product against the attacks happened by comparing two fingerprinted copies.The watermarks are a string of binary numbers -1s and 1s. Every customer will be distinguished by a series of 1s and -1s generated by a pseudo-random generator. The owner of the image can determine the number of customers and the length of the string as well as this method will add another watermarking values to watermark string to protect the product.
