DRAFT - Watermarking, Steganography, and DRM





fragile, robust, semifragile against a specific type of distortion.

Visible or impercetptible.

Slides FR

Digital Watermarking: Algorithm and Application 500 citations. 15 pages

Domains:

  • images (largest domain )
  • Audio
  • Video
  • Text
  • Document

Hidden signal + Host image + => Composite signal

3 tradeoff: Robustness, Minimization of distortion rate, maximize capacity.

QIM

Images

Algorithms for images:

Spacial VS Spectral domain

  • LSB
  • DCT Discrete Cosine Transform
  • DWT: Discrete Wavelet Transform

LSB: modify bits that are the less visible. Sensible au modification (rotation / compression) Good ratio. 300x300 image 8bit BW: 900,000 bits

Patchwork algorithm

Take two patch, the diff between the patch gives info.

Etalement de spectre

Lin’s algorithm

QIM: Quantization Index Modulation

Probleme:

  • rotation
  • compression
  • stirmark

Add synchronization marker.

Document

  • Metadata
  • Character moves. Line up or down from small shift, change character size.

Audio

Analog to discrete conversion should be OK

Kerchkoff principle: The algorithm is public. The key is private.
