Abstract
In this paper, a technique for securely concealing the watermark, which is intellectual property information, in the image pixel LSB using spatial encryption is proposed. The proposed watermarking technique can be effectively used to protect intellectual property of images. The proposed technique can be used to extract watermark without loss from the stego-image, which is a hidden image of spatially encrypted watermark. The experimental results confirmed the superiority of the proposed technique. As a result of performing watermarking using the proposed technique, the image quality of the stego-image is higher than 51 dB, so humans cannot visually recognize the presence of a watermark. Due to the watermark is spatially encrypted, the security of the watermark is excellent.
