To effectively track the illegal use of digital images and maintain the security of digital image communication on the Internet, this paper proposes a reversible multipurpose image watermarking algorithm based on a deep residual network (ResNet) and perceptual hashing (also called MWR). The algorithm first combines perceptual image hashing to generate a digital fingerprint that depends on the user's identity information and image characteristics. Then it embeds the removable visible watermark and digital fingerprint in two different regions of the orthogonal separation of the image. The embedding strength of the digital fingerprint is computed using ResNet. Because of the embedding of the removable visible watermark, the conflict between the copyright notice and the user's browsing is balanced. Moreover, image authentication and traitor tracking are realized through digital fingerprint insertion. The experiments show that the scheme has good visual transparency and watermark visibility. The use of chaotic mapping in the visible watermark insertion process enhances the security of the multipurpose watermark scheme, and unauthorized users without correct keys cannot effectively remove the visible watermark.

Recently, many studies about digital watermarking have been doing, and their purpose is to protect copyright of multimedia data. In this paper, the performances of digital watermarkings, in order to hide information of copyright into digital images, are analyzed. The watermarks embedded in subbands on wavelet transform domain are transformed by the processing such as image compression, and the degree of the transformation in each subband depend on its statistical characteristics. That says, we must consider the characteristics of subbands for better watermarking.

The illegal copy of computer software have been one of the most serious threats in information society. But a number of protection schemes to solve it have proposed, there are a lot of difficulties for prevention from illegally distributing software through emerging Internet environments. In this paper, we propose a software watermarking scheme for Java programs which it have been popular on the Internet. The proposed scheme can be efficiently implemented and provide a robust software watermark for the protection of the copyright of Java programs.

In this paper, we have introduced a new watermarking method using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). This method has two features. Firstly the trade-off between the quality and the robustness, and between the quality and the capacitance can be controlled. Next, this method use different scheme according to the watermarks. We have also implemented numerical examples for several kinds of attack. It is found that watermarking method in this paper is robust to above attacks.

In this paper, we consider the problem of digital audio watermarking to robust about compression without original audio data. We specifically address the audio watermarking using BPSK with variable carrier frequency. This technique make audio data embeded watermarking robust with compression attack, for example MPEG, AC-3, etc.

The common requirements for watermarking are usually invisibility, robustness, and capacity. We proposed the watermarking for 3D mesh model based on projection onto convex sets for invisibility and robustness among requirements. As such, a 3D mesh model is projected alternatively onto two convex sets until it converge a point. The robustness convex set is designed to be able to embed watermark into the distance distribution of vertices. The invisibility convex set is designed for the watermark to be invisible based on the limit range of vertex movement. The watermark can be extracted using the decision values and index that the watermark was embedded with. Experimental results verify that the watermarked mesh model has both robustness against mesh simplification, cropping, affine transformations, and vertex randomization and invisibility.

In this paper, we present a watermarking scheme based on the DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) to ensure the copyright protection of the digital images. The problem to embed watermark is not clear to select important coefficient in the watermarking. We used the RBF (Radial-Basis Function) to solve the problem. We didn't apply the whole wavelet coefficients, but applied to only the wavelet coefficients in the selected node. Using the ANN, although even the watermark casting process and watermark verification process are in public, nobody knows the location of embedding watermark except of authorized user. As the result, the watermark is good at the strength test-filtering, geometric transform and etc.

In this paper, we analyze the security of a self-recovery fragile watermarking scheme proposed by C. Wang et al. An attack against C. Wang et al.'s scheme is demonstrated. The theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed scheme is not secure against attacks.

This paper presents a secure and blind adaptive audio watermarking algorithm based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). The audio signal is divided into frames and each one is decomposed adaptively, by EMD, into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). The watermark and the synchronization codes are then embedded into the extrema of the last IMF. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good imperceptibility and robustness against signal processing attacks.

For a digital image watermarking some autostereograms are used such as random dot images. In there, the extraction efficiency is good and the distortion rate is low. In this paper, we shall select an optimized scaling parameter which derives low distortion rate and high extraction efficiency, when we use a random dot images as like as autostereograms into some images except for extremely biased gray level images.
