Jiri Fridrich, Lt. Arnold C. Baldoza, Richard J. Simard. Robust digital watermarking based on key­dependent basis functions, IHW'98 - Proc. of the International Information hiding Workshop, April. 1998. [ZIP]

 



Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the concept of key­dependent basis functions and discuss its applications to secure robust watermarking for copyright protection and to designing secure public black­box watermark detectors. The new schemes overcome a possible security weakness of global, non­adaptive schemes that apply watermark patterns spanned by a small number of publicly known basis functions. The watermark is embedded into the projections of an image onto the secret set of key­dependent functions (patterns). The robustness of the watermarking scheme with respect to filtering, lossy compression, and combinations of many other attacks is studied. Finally, we propose a candidate for a watermarking scheme that enables the construction of a secure public watermark detector.

Keywords: Robust image watermarking, attacks, orthogonal patterns, secure public watermark detector
