The growth of the Internet has fueled the demand for enhanced watermarking and data hiding technologies and has stimulated research into new ways to implement watermarking systems in the real world. This book presents the principles of watermarking system design and discusses technologies in information concealment and recovery. It highlights the requirements and challenges of applications in security, image/video indexing, hidden communications, image captioning, and transmission error recovery and concealment. It explains digital watermarking technologies and offers an understanding of new approaches and applications, laying the groundwork for further developments in the field.

We are happy to present to you the proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Digital Watermarking, IWDW 2004. Since its modern reappearance in the academic community in the early 1990s, great progress has been made in understanding both the capabilities and the weaknesses of digital watermarking. On the theoretical side, we all are now well aware of the fact that digital watermarking is best viewed as a form of communication using side information. In the case of digital watermarking the side information in question is the document to be watermarked. This insight has led to a better understanding of the limits of the capacity and robustness of digital watermarking algorithms. It has also led to new and improved watermarking algorithms, both in terms of capacity and imperceptibility. Similarly, the role of human perception, and models thereof, has been greatly enhanced in the study and design of digital watermarking algorithms and systems. On the practical side, applications of watermarking are not yet abundant. The original euphoria on the role of digital watermarking in copy protection and copyright protection has not resulted in widespread use in practical systems. With hindsight, a number of reasons can be given for this lack of practical applications.
This book deals with digital watermarking, which is defined by the authors of this book as the art of hiding auxiliary information in digital data in a secure, robust and imperceptible fashion. Digital watermarking as a topic has a long history, but before 1995 publications in scientific literature were almost absent. From 1995 onwards however the number of publications on watermarking has been steadily increasing. Today a number of workshops and conferences on this topic exist; also a number of scientific journals on watermarking have been published. This renewed scientific interest in digital watermarking has led very quickly to industrial interest, as well. In 1996 the Copy Protection Technical Working Group, a voluntary consortium consisting of the movie industry, the IT industry and the consumer electronics industry, issued a call for watermarking technologies for the purpose of copy protection of DVD-Video. A few years later the Secure Digital Music Initiative issued a similar call, in this case focusing on copy protection of digital music. These two efforts have been only partially successful: copy protection based on digital watermarking is not (yet) implemented on a large scale in any type of consumer device. This current "failure" of watermarking, to live up to its expectations, finds its cause in a large number of reasons, ranging from legal considerations and system aspects to the relative immaturity of watermarking as a technology.
Information security and copyright protection are more important today than before. Digital watermarking is one of the widely used techniques used in the world in the area of information security. This book introduces a number of digital watermarking techniques and is divided into four parts. The first part introduces the importance of watermarking techniques and intelligent technology. The second part includes a number of watermarking techniques. The third part includes the hybrid watermarking techniques and the final part presents conclusions. This book is directed to students, professors, researchers and application engineers who are interested in the area of information security.
... welcome to the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems hosted by La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
This book explains how to measure the security of a watermarking scheme, how to design secure schemes but also how to attack popular watermarking schemes. This book gathers the most recent achievements in the field of watermarking security by considering both parts of this cat and mouse game. This book is useful to industrial practitioners who would like to increase the security of their watermarking applications and for academics to quickly master this fascinating domain.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Digital Watermarking Secure Data Management, IWDW 2005, held in Siena, Italy in September 2005. The 31 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on steganography and steganalysis, fingerprinting, watermarking, attacks, watermarking security, watermarking of unconventional media, channel coding and watermarking, theory, and applications.
(Cont.) In contrast to many suggested watermarking techniques that view the original data as interference, we find that the capacity increases with the uncertainty in the original data. Indeed, we find that out of all distributions with the same variance, a Gaussian distribution on the original data results in the highest capacity. Furthermore, for Gaussian data, the capacity increases with its variance. One surprising result is that with Gaussian data the capacity does not increase if the original data can be used to decode the watermark. This is reminiscent of a similar model, Costa's "writing on dirty paper", in which the attacker simply adds independent Gaussian noise. Unlike with a more sophisticated attacker, we show that the capacity does not change for Costa's model if the original data is not Gaussian.
