The watermarking is a method to achieve the copyright protection of multimedia contents. Among several media, the left documents show very peculiar properties: block/line/word patterning, clear separation between foreground and background areas. So algorithms specific to the text documents are required that meet those properties. This paper proposes a novel watermarking algorithm for the grayscale text document images. The algorithm inserts the watermark signals through the edge direction histograms. A concept of sub-image consistency is developed that the sub-images have similar shapes in terms of edge direction histograms. Using Korean, Chinese, and English document images, the concept is evaluated and proven to be valid over a wide range of document images. To insert watermark signals, the edge direction histogram is modified slightly. The experiments were performed on various document images and the algorithm was evaluated in terms of imperceptibility and robustness.

The Purpose of Similarity(Reproduction) Degree Appraisal is to determine the equality or similarity between two programs and it is a system that presents the technical grounds of judgment which is necessary to support the resolution of software intellectual property rights through expert eyes. The most important things in proceeding software appraisal are not to make too much of expert's own subjective judgment and to acquire the accurate-appraisal results. However, up to now standard research and development for its systematic techniques are not properly made out and as different expert as each one could approach in a thousand different ways, even the techniques for software appraisal types have not exactly been presented yet. Moreover, in the analyzing results of all the appraisal cases finished before, through a practical way, we blow that there are some damages on objectivity and accuracy in some parts of the appraisal results owing to the problems of existing appraisal procedures and techniques or lack of expert's professional knowledge. In this paper we present the model for the standardization of software-similarity-appraisal techniques and objective-evaluation methods for decreasing a tolerance that could make different results according to each expert in the same-evaluation points. Especially, it analyzes and evaluates the techniques from various points of view concerning the standard appraisal process, setting a range of appraisal, setting appraisal domains and items in detail, based on unit processes, setting the weight of each object to be appraised, and the degree of logical and physical similarity, based on effective solutions to practical problems of existing appraisal techniques and their objective and quantitative standardization. Consequently, we believe that the model for the standardization of software-similarity-appraisal techniques will minimizes the possibility of mistakes due to an expert's subjective judgment as well as it will offer a tool for improving objectivity and reliability of the appraisal results.

Most software is distributed as a binary file format, so reverse engineering is not easy. But Android is based on the Java and running on virtual machine. So, Android applications can be analyzed by reverse engineering tools. To overcome this problem, various obfuscation techniques are developed. In android environment, the Proguard is most widely used because it is included in the Android SDK distribution package. The Proguard can protect the Java source code from reverse engineering analysis. But it has no function to protect resources like images, sounds and databases. In this paper, we proposed and implemented resource obfuscation framework to protect resources of android application. We expect that this framework can protect android resources effectively.

디지틸워터마킹은 디지털콘텐츠의 저작권보호 솔루션으로서 현재 주로 이미지, 오디오, 비디오, 텍스트 등을 대상으로 연구되고 있다. 컴퓨터 하드웨어, 네트워크, 그리고, 응용 소프트웨어의 빠른 발전과 함께 국가 차원의 초고속 통신망의 인프라 구축에 힘입어, 3차원 폴리곤과 곡선 및 곡면에 대한 디지털워터마킹에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유리 베지에곡선에 대한 디지털워터마킹에 대한 하나의 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 베지에곡선의 차수를 증가시키는 일반적인 방법이 아닌 유리항의 분모와 분자에 공통의 다항식을 곱하여 차수를 증가시킨다. 이때 공통으로 칠하는 다항식의 관들의 복비(cross ratio) 값에 우리가 숨기고자하는 마크를 삽입하고, 추출해내는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 알고리듬은 워터마크를 삽입하는 과정에서 곡선의 형태를 전혀 변화시키지 않는 형태 유지성(shape preserving property)을 갖는다. 또한. 본 알고리듬의 다른 중요한 특징은 곡선이 CAD 시스템에 의해 이용되는 과정에서 흔히 일어나는 재매개화 방법 중 뫼비우스 변환을 이용한 재매개화에 저항성이 있는 알고리듬이라는 것이다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 제시한 방범에 의한 예제의 결과를 보여준다.

소프트웨어는 대부분 바이너리 형태로 배포되기 때문에 역공학 분석이 쉽지 않다. 그러나 안드로이드는 자바를 기반으로 한다. 즉, 자바 언어로 프로그래밍하고 생성된 클래스 파일을 dx라는 도구를 사용하여 안드로이드용 달빅(Dalvik) 코드로 변환한다. 따라서 안드로이드 역시 자바의 취약점을 가지고 있고, 자바용으로 개발된 역공학 도구에 의해서 쉽게 분석될 수 있다. 한편으로 자바 프로그램의 저작권을 보호하고 핵심 알고리즘이 노출되지 않도록 다양한 난독화 도구들이 개발되었다. 그 중에서 안드로이드 SDK에 포함되어 함께 배포되고 있기 때문에 널리 사용되고 있는 프로가드(Proguard)에 대해서 대표적인 기능 및 사용법, 프로가드로 난독화된 코드가 원본과 비교하여 어떻게 변경되었는지 평가한다. 그리고 프로가드가 가지고 있는 한계를 알아보고, 이것을 극복할 수 있는 방법을 모색한다.

The study of the compatibility of EPUB DRM, granted by the Korea Copyright Commission, as a CT R & D project (Project Title: Development of standard reference software technology for the International Standard EPUB-based eBook DRM) developed standards such as profile standards for encryption, digital signature and authentication certificates and standards for technical terms of rights information. In 2012, these four standards have been established as the Korean Industrial Standards under the names of 'Encryption specification for EPUB DRM', 'the Digital signature specification for EPUB DRM', 'the Certificate specification for EPUB DRM', and 'Definitions of Right Terms for EPUB DRM' through the ODPF(Open Digital Standardization Forum) and the TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association). In spite of the establishment of the eBook DRM standards, however, the absence of the standard technology which supports the compatibility for issues and changes of licenses makes it unable to use eBooks served by different eBook distributors. This study tries to investigate technological approaches to methods of license issues supporting eBook DRM compatibility on the basis of the above-mentioned four EPUB DRM standards and to provide an industrially accepted technological model.

This paper proposes an effective watermarking approach for copyright protection of fire video images. The proposed watermarking approach efficiently utilizes the inherent characteristics of fire data with respect to color and texture by using a gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering. GLCM is used to generate a texture feature dataset by computing energy and homogeneity properties for each candidate fire image block. FCM is used to segment color of the fire image and to select fire texture blocks for embedding watermarks. Each selected block is then decomposed into a one-level wavelet structure with four subbands [LL, LH, HL, HH] using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and LH subband coefficients with a gain factor are selected for embedding watermark, where the visibility of the image does not affect. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking approach achieves about 48 dB of high peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and 1.6 to 2.0 of low M-singular value decomposition (M-SVD) values. In addition, the proposed approach outperforms conventional image watermarking approach in terms of normalized correlation (NC) values against several image processing attacks including noise addition, filtering, cropping, and JPEG compression.

In recent years, There is a growing demand for more instructional hours because of the shortage of classes required for the software education included in the 2015 Revised Practical Arts Curriculum of elementary schools. Therefore, the Korea Association of Information Education developed the Informatics Curriculums Standard Model from 2014 to 2016 to revise the next 2020 curriculum. However, the KAIE curriculum lacks linkages with secondary school informatics curriculum and is not composed of core concept-based achievement criteria so that teachers have a lot of difficulties in reconstructing and operating the KAIE curriculum. In this study, four core concepts of information ethics were selected by conducting Delphi survey focusing on the teachers of elementary schools. In other words, we selected the core concepts of the information ethics domain: internet etiquette, personal information protection, information life, and copyright protection. Also, we suggested 16 specific criteria for the core concepts.

In this paper, we propose watermark algorithm called TDWA(Time-Division Watermarking Algorithm) and we applied the proposed algorithm to H.264 video coding standard. We establish that a proposed algorithm is applied to H.264 baseline profile CODEC. The proposed algorithm inserts a watermark into the spatial domain of several frames. We can easily insert strong and invisible watermarks into original pictures using this method. For verification of the proposed algorithm we design hardware core using Verilog-HDL and Excalibur for JM 8.7 code with hardware & software co-simulation. As a result of verification, the PSNR between watermarked pictures and original pictures are more than 60dB and we found the watermark is kept more than 80% after encoding of H.264/AVC with quantization parameter of 28 in baseline profile.
