In this paper, we proposed a forensic mark algorithm which can embed the distributor's information at each distribution step to trace the illegal distribution path. For this purpose, the algorithm has to have the high capacity payload for embedding the copyright and user information at each step, and the embedded information at a step should not interfere with the information at other step. The proposed algorithm can trace the multilevel distribution because the forensic mark is generated by digital hologram and embedded in the DWT-SVD domain. For the high capacity embedding, the off-axis hologram is generated from the forensic mark and the hologram is embedded in the HL, LH, HH bands of the DWT to reduce the signal interference. The SVD which is applied the holographic signal enhanced the detection performance and the safety of the forensic mark algorithm. As the test results, this algorithm was able to embed 128bits information for the copyright and user information at each step. In this paper, we can embed total 384bits information for 3 steps and the algorithm is also robust to the JPEG compression.

In this paper, we describe fire risk of Kimchi refrigerator. The Kimchi refrigerator has been widely spread and used starting from the first half of 2000 and recently fire accidents caused by the Kimchi refrigerator emerged as social concern. In particular, in products of a specific manufacturer, it is not an environmental factor, but a characteristic that the fire is caused due to a defect of the product itself is shown. These features are judged to be formed by unique defects regardless of external factor by forming electrically arc mark in the relay element. In this paper, we analyzed the cause of the fire occurring in the Kimchi refrigerator and finally confirmed the characteristic that the fire occurred mainly in the relay element due to insufficient capacity of the relay element. Therefore, when a fire occurs in a product of the same maker as the Kimchi refrigerator mentioned in this paper, it is always judged that the inspection of the relay element should be carried out.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology has been widely used for protecting the digital contents over the recent years. But the digital contents protected by DRM are vulnerable to various video memory capture programs when DRM packaged contents are decrypted on the consumers' multimedia devices. To make up for this kind of DRM security holes the Forensic Marking (FM) technology is being deployed into the content protection area. Most leading DRM companies as well as big electronics companies like Thomson and Philips already have commercial FM solutions. Forensic Marking technology uses the digital watermarking to insert the user information such as user id, content playing time and etc. into the decrypted and decoded content at the playback time on the consumer devices. When the content containing watermarked user information (Forensic Mark) is illegally captured and distributed over the Internet, the FM detection system takes out the inserted FM from the illegal contents and informs contents service providers of the illegal hacker's information. In this paper the requirements and test conditions are discussed for the commercial Forensic Marking systems.

In this paper, we propose a new audio forensic marking system for protecting the copyright of the Internet-based music streaming services. In the proposed method, in order to guarantee the QoS of the streaming service, high speed, and generates a forensic mark inserted MP3 file. We make pre-marking process and generate a new forensic marked MP3 file, a combination of the pre-marked MP3 frame, the inserted user information. Experimental results show that the proposed method satisfactory results robustness and imperceptibility, and real-time properties. In addition, we were confirmed that the real-time embedding and detection from the streaming-based audio forensic marking system that has been implemented on the server/client is possible.

The importance of Digital Rights Protection technologies, especially the forensic marking, is getting larger and larger as the demand for the digital contents is increased. But the technologies for the evaluation of forensic marking is not set up properly due to the conflicts between interested parties and technical difficulties. Therefore to evaluate the performance of forensic marking objectively, image and video modification items/levels and evaluation criteria are essential. This paper suggests the quantitative system for evaluating the performance of forensic marking objectively. By providing the opportunity to evaluate the Digital Rights Protection product in objective and quantitative manner, forensic marking industry can expedite its technology development and consumer can get objective and universally validated performance result. It is expected this technology could help revitalizing the related industries and help expediting the development of forensic mark technologies.

An aircraft made an emergency landing through the loss of capability controlling steering. A torsion link which is a part of steering apparatus has been adrift from the steering system and the bolt connected to the steering link has fractured. At the same time, the FLIR(Forward Looking Infrared Radar) mounted in front of the steering link has been also damaged. In the early of this investigation, we considered the failure of the FLIR had occurred first, that FLIR hit the steering link and finally the bolt fractured. The fractured section of the bolt has shown a beach mark and a dimple mark as well. The outside of the bolt has shown a large deformation by a heavy load. As a result, we have found out what the cause of the heavy load and the fractures for bolt, link and FLIR have occurred in what order.

In this paper, we propose a copyright protection scheme for real-time streaming of HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) based realistic content. Previous research uses encryption and modular operation for copyright pre-protection and copyright post-protection, which causes delays in ultra high resolution video. The proposed scheme maximizes parallelism by using thread pool based DRM(Digital Rights Management) packaging with only HEVC's CABAC(Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) codec and GPU based high-speed bit operation(XOR), thus enabling real-time copyright protection. As a result of comparing this scheme with previous research at three resolutions, PSNR showed an average of 8 times higher performance, and the process speed showed an average of 18 times difference. In addition, as a result of comparing the robustness of the forensic mark, the filter and noise attack, which showed the largest and smallest difference, with a 27-fold difference in recompression attacks, showed an 8-fold difference.

The bus using compressed natural gas(CNG) trend to be extended in use internationally as optimal counter-plan for reducing discharge gas of light oil due to high concern about environment. But, Composit pressure vessels(CPV) to be equipped with CNG bus is always involved in the point that safety accidents happen due to having compressed natural gas. In this report, we analysis the cause of CPV bursting accident by reviewing design and manufacture factor and suggest preventive measure through this case.

In this paper, it was presented a design on the dynamic multimedia fingerprinting code for anti-collusion code(ACC) in the protection of multimedia content. Multimedia fingerprinting code for the conventional ACC, is designed with a mathematical method to increase k to k+1 by transform from BIBD's an incidence matrix to a complement matrix. A codevector of the complement matrix is allowanced fingerprinting code to a user' authority and embedded into a content. In the proposed algorithm, the feature points were drawing from a content which user bought, with based on these to design the dynamical multimedia fingerprinting code. The candidate codes of ACC which satisfied BIBD's v and k+1 condition is registered in the codebook, and then a matrix is generated(Below that it calls "Rhee matrix") with ${\lambda}+1$ condition. In the experimental results, the codevector of Rhee matrix based on a feature point of the content is generated to exist k in the confidence interval at the significance level ($1-{\alpha}$). Euclidean distances between row and row and column and column each other of Rhee matrix is working out same k value as like the compliment matrices based on BIBD and Graph. Moreover, first row and column of Rhee matrix are an initial firing vector and to be a forensic mark of content protection. Because of the connection of the rest codevectors is reported in the codebook, when trace a colluded code, it isn't necessity to solve a correlation coefficient between original fingerprinting code and the colluded code but only search the codebook then a trace of the colluder is easy. Thus, the generated Rhee matrix in this paper has an excellent robustness and fidelity more than the mathematically generated matrix based on BIBD as ACC.

This research proposes a modified data hiding method to hide data in a slack space of an NTFS index record. The existing data hiding method is for anti-forensics, which uses traces of file names of an index entry in an index record when files are deleted in a direcotry. The proposed method in this paper modifies the existing method to make non-admittable ASCII characters for a file name applicable. By improving the existing method, problems of a file creation error due to non-admittable characters are remedied; including the non-admittable 9 characters (i. e. slash /, colon :, greater than >, less than <, question mark ?, back slash ${\backslash}$, vertical bar |, semi-colon ;, esterisk * ), reserved file names(i. e. CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1~COM9, LPT1~LPT9) and two non-admittable characters for an ending character of the file name(i. e. space and dot). Two results of the two message with non-admittable ASCII characters by keyboard inputs show the applicability of the proposed method.
