Recently it is important to protect the digital contents copyright because the multimedia industry is growing rapidly and the network technology is highly developed. Current digital content protection methods have disadvantage that there is very hardly accessible to the digital contents and also it has a limit that it cannot protect the contents once the encrypted contents decrypt. In order to solve this problem, digital watermarking technology has been introduced. This study presents the trend of digital watermarking technology, especially standardization and the trend of digital watermarking algorithms.

The increase of illegal usage and conflict in digital content market would diminish motivation of creators for their work, furthermore break down digital content market on cyber-space. Watermarking technology support to the legal users by the protection technique based on the digital content copyright protection method(DRM). Most of previous digital watermarking have embeded to the content. In this paper, we propose a wavelet based watermarking method which is used for implementing in the frequency domain.

A digital watermark is an invisible mark embedded in a digital image which used for copyright protection. In this paper, we propose a new optical watermarking system. A optical watermarking system is applied for digital watermarking by phase hologram and Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A optical watermarking technique to be hidden is phase modulated in a random patten, and its Fourier-transformed hologram image is superposed on a content image. The autentication information extract by using Mach-zehnder interferometer.

With the rapid development of computer technologies, a number of image modification methods have emerged, which have great impacts on the security of image information. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the integrity and authenticity of digital images, and digital watermarking technique consequently becomes a research hotspot. An effort is made to survey and analyze advancements of image watermarking algorithms based on singular value decomposition (SVD) in recent years. In the first part, an overview of watermarking techniques is presented and then mathematical theory of SVD is given. Besides, SVD watermarking model, features, and evaluation indexes are demonstrated. Various SVD-based watermarking algorithms, as well as hybrid watermarking algorithms based on SVD and other transforms for copyright protection, tamper detection, location, and recovery are reviewed in the last part.

High-quality digital broadcasting contents are susceptible to illegal copy and unauthorized redistribution, which makes broadcasters difficult to protect valuable media assets. So, broadcasters and content providers need the technology for copyright protection of professional digital content. Digital watermarking technology is one of the most actively developed solutions for the copyright protection. This paper suggests the requirements of watermarking technology in DTV(Digital TV) environment for copyright protection and shows the developed real-time watermark embedding/detecting system for HD(High Definition)/SD(Standard Definition) video and experimental results of the system against watermark attack tests. Our watermarking system meets the watermarking requirements of invisibility, robustness and security of DTV environment.

Over the last few years, digital audio watermarking has become an interesting issue In many application areas, including digital broadcasting. This is primarily motivated by a need to provide copyright protection of digital audio content. Digital watermarking is a technique to embed copyright or other information int? the underlying data. Several possible audio watermarking techniques have been developed including spread spectrum watermarking, echo watermarking, phase coding, and patchwork. In this paper, we describe some requirements of digital audio watermarking as a tool for copyright protection of broadcasting content, and compare popular audio watermarking algorithms in some significant aspects.

In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm for high quality audio. Nowadays, digital watermark used to confirm to digital copyright protection, not only digital image but also digital audio is active in the digital watermarking study. In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm using psychoacoustics model and MDCT/IMDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform/Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) for the high quality audio watermark. In the proposed scheme, we used to 441KHz, 128kbps and stereo audio data for audio watermarking algorithm. Audio data is passed by MDCT; watermark can be inserted into the frequency domain with 256,1024 and 2048 interval.

The use of digital imaging technique and digital contents based on internet has grown rapidly for last several years, and the needs of digital image protection become more important. For the purpose of copyright protection on digital image, the verification of authentication techniques like content authentication, ownership authentication, illegal copy and etc are needed. Digital watermarking, the invisible encryption technique to insert digital watermark into image, the sophisticated perceptual information should be used for providing transparency and robustness of images on watermarking process. In this paper, we implement the digital watermarking algorithm for preventing forged attack, ownership protection and authentication by transforming the wavelet algorithms in frequency domain in terms of human visual system.

Buyer-seller watermarking protocol is defined as the practice of imperceptible altering a digital content to embed a message using watermarking in the encryption domain. This protocol is acknowledged as one kind of copyright protection techniques in electronic commerce. Buyer-seller watermarking protocol is fundamentally based on public-key cryptosystem that is operating using the algebraic property of an integer. However, in general usage, digital contents which are handled in watermarking scheme mostly exist as real numbers in frequency domain through DCT, DFT, DWT, etc. Therefore, in order to use the watermarking scheme in a cryptographic protocol, digital contents that exist as real number must be transformed into integer type through preprocessing beforehand. In this paper, we presented a new watermarking scheme in an encrypted domain in an image that is based on the block-DCT framework and homomorphic encryption method for buyer-seller watermarking protocol. We applied integral-processing in order to modify the decimal layer. And we designed a direction-adaptive watermarking scheme by analyzing distribution property of the frequency coefficients in a block using JND threshold. From the experimental results, the proposed scheme was confirmed to have a good robustness and invisibility.
