Digital watermarking is a process in which a secondary pattern or signature, called a watermark, is hidden into a digital media (e.g., image and video) such that it can be detected or extracted later for different intentions. Digital watermarking has many applications including copyright protection, authentication, tamper detection, and embedding of electronic patient records in medical images. Various software implementations of digital watermarking algorithms can be built. While software implementations can address digital watermarking in off-line applications, they cannot meet the requirements of many applications. For example, in consumer electronic devices, a software solution would be very expensive. This has motivated the development of hardware implementations of digital watermarking. In this chapter, the authors present a detailed survey of existing hardware implementations of image and video watermarking algorithms. Fundamental design issues are discussed and special techniques exploited to enhance efficiency are identified. Future outlooks are also presented to address the challenges of hardware architecture design for image and video watermarking.

Nowadays, the use of digital content or digital media is increasing day by day. Therefore, there is a need to protect the digital document from both unauthorized users and authorized users. The digital document should be protected from authorized users who try to redistribute it illegally. Digital watermarking techniques along with cryptography are insufficient to ensure an adequate level of security of digital media. The security of the transferring digital data in the modern world is also a big challenge because there is a high risk of security breaches. In this article, a secure technique of image fusion using hybrid domains (spatial and frequency) for privacy preserving and copyright protection is proposed. The proposed method provides a secure technique for the digital content in cloud environment. Two cloud services are used to develop this work, which eliminates the role of a trusted third party (TTP). First is the design of an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to store different images with encryption processes to speed up the image fusion process and save storage space. Second, a Platform as a Service (PaaS) is used to enable the digital content to improve computation power and to increase the bandwidth. The prime objective of the proposed scheme is to transfer the digital media between a service provider and customer in a secure way using a hybrid domain along with cloud storage. Imperceptibility and robustness measures are used to calculate the performance of the proposed approach.

<abstract> <p>With the rapid development of computer technology and network communication technology, copyright protection caused by widely spread digital media has become the focus of attention in various fields. For digital media watermarking technology research emerge in endlessly, but the results are not ideal. In order to better realize the copyright identification and protection, based on the embedded intelligent edge computing detection technology, this paper studies the zero watermark copyright protection algorithm of digital media. Firstly, this paper designs an embedded intelligent edge detection module based on Sobel operator, including image line buffer module, convolution calculation module and threshold processing module. Then, based on the embedded intelligent edge detection module, the Arnold transform of image scrambling technology is used to preprocess the watermark, and finally a zero watermark copyright protection algorithm is constructed. At the same time, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is tested. The image is subjected to different proportion of clipping and scaling attacks, different types of noise, sharpening and blur attacks, and the detection rate and signal-to-noise ratio of each algorithm are calculated respectively. The performance of the watermark image processed by this algorithm is evaluated subjectively and objectively. Experimental data show that the detection rate of our algorithm is the highest, which is 0.89. In scaling attack, the performance of our algorithm is slightly lower than that of Fourier transform domain algorithm, but it is better than the other two algorithms. The Signal to Noise Ratio of the algorithm is 36.854% in P6 multiplicative noise attack, 39.638% in P8 sharpening edge attack and 41.285% in fuzzy attack. This shows that the algorithm is robust to conventional attacks. The subjective evaluation of 33% and 39% of the images is 5 and 4. The mean values of signal to noise ratio, peak signal to noise ratio, mean square error and mean absolute difference are 20.56, 25.13, 37.03 and 27.64, respectively. This shows that the watermark image processed by this algorithm has high quality. Therefore, the digital media zero watermark copyright protection algorithm based on embedded intelligent edge computing detection is more robust, and its watermark invisibility is also very superior, which is worth promoting.</p> </abstract>

The availability of versatile multimedia processing software and the far-reaching coverage of the interconnected networks have facilitated flawless copying and manipulations of digital media. The ever-advancing storage and retrieval technologies also have smoothed the way for large-scale multimedia database applications. However, abuses of these facilities and technologies pose pressing threats to multimedia security management in general, and multimedia copyright protection and content integrity verification in particular. Although cryptography has a long history of application to information and multimedia security, the undesirable characteristic of providing no protection to the media once decrypted has limited the feasibility of its widespread use. For example, an adversary can obtain the decryption key by purchasing a legal copy of the media but then redistributing the decrypted copies of the original.

Potential Use

Copyright protection is becoming an important issue for organizations that create, use, and distribute digital content through e-commerce channels. As online corruption increases, new technical and business requirements are posed for protecting intellectual property rights such as watermarking, use of metadata, self-protection, and self-authentication. This work is a review of the most important of these methods and analyzes their potential use in digital rights management systems. We focus especially on watermarking and argue that it has a true potential in e-business because it is possible to embed and detect multiple watermarks to a single digital artifact without decreasing its quality. In conjunction with parallel linking of content to metadata, there is true potential for real life copyright-protection systems.

Recent Developments

With the proliferation of digital media such as images, audio, and video, robust digital watermarking and data hiding techniques are needed for copyright protection, copy control, annotation, and authentication of document images. While many techniques have been proposed for digital color and grayscale images, not all of them can be directly applied to binary images in general and document images in particular. The difficulty lies in the fact that changing pixel values in a binary image could introduce irregularities that are very visually noticeable. Over the last few years, we have seen a growing but limited number of papers proposing new techniques and ideas for binary image watermarking and data hiding. In this chapter we present an overview and summary of recent developments on this important topic, and discuss important issues such as robustness and data hiding capacity of the different techniques.

Text Steganography

With the ceaseless usage of web and other online services, it has turned out that copying, sharing, and transmitting digital media over the Internet are amazingly simple. Since the text is one of the main available data sources and most widely used digital media on the Internet, the significant part of websites, books, articles, daily papers, and so on is just the plain text. Therefore, copyrights protection of plain texts is still a remaining issue that must be improved in order to provide proof of ownership and obtain the desired accuracy. During the last decade, digital watermarking and steganography techniques have been used as alternatives to prevent tampering, distortion, and media forgery and also to protect both copyright and authentication. This paper presents a comparative analysis of information hiding techniques, especially on those ones which are focused on modifying the structure and content of digital texts. Herein, various text watermarking and text steganography techniques characteristics are highlighted along with their applications. In addition, various types of attacks are described and their effects are analyzed in order to highlight the advantages and weaknesses of current techniques. Finally, some guidelines and directions are suggested for future works.
