In this paper, we proposed the high quality digital audio watermarking algorithm in the frequency domain. The spread spectrum technique is used to encrypted a stream of information by spreading the data as much of the frequency spectrum as possible. It's technique adapt well to data hiding in audio signal. We have used the perceptual model and MDCT/IMDCT for the high qualify digital audio watermarking. The proposed watermark algorithm preserved high quality audio data from watermark signal.

This paper shows the watermarking system that inserts copyright holder's logo in music file. In other words, a sound file is able to have an image information like a logo or letters. The watermarking system converts a sound file into an image file using spectrogram. In the spectrogram domain, a logo is inserted using spread spectrum. The proposed technique shows that the verification of copyright is better than the method using PN-Sequence.

In this paper, we propose a new watermarking method based on spread spectrum and a semi-fingerprinting system architecture that can be built using our robust watermarking method. Especially, we describe a method that extends the application area of watermarking technology to more practical application domains by applying the watermarking technology that has been focused mainly on copyright protection to fingerprinting area. Our proposed watermarking scheme uses the method that inserts more data by using random number shifting method. We improved the reliability of acquired data with 20-bits CRC code and 60-bits inserted information. In addition, we designed the system architecture based on the recommendation of cIDf (content ID forum) in order to apply the system on the semi-fingerprinting area.

본 논문은 이미지 위/변조 검출 린 인증을 위한 고속의 Semi-Fragile 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 JPEG 이미지를 허프만 복호화 후에, 양자화 테이블 값에 의한 변화율이 같은 특정 양자화 계수를 비교함으로써 조건을 만족하는 8$\times$8 블록 당 1비트 워터마크 정보를 삽입한다. 이때의 조건은 이미지의 열화를 초래하지 않을 정도의 작은 boundary 값을 기준으로 한다. 제안한 방법이 압축에 강인함을 실험을 통하여 증명하였다.

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.

Intellectual property rights are gathering strength theses days. Because digital contents are easily reproduced and distributed by advanced computers and networks. Digital watermarking is one of the best solutions for this problem. Generally, frequency-domain watermarking algorithms are preferred since they are more robust than spatial-domain algorithms. However, coefficients in the frequency domain are floating-point numbers. Thus, it is not easy to manipulate those floating-point coefficients and frequency-domain watermarking algorithms have some limitations in their applications. In order to overcome this difficulty, we employ an integer transform in this paper. In addition, our proposed algerian can extract the watermark from both the spatial and frequency domains. We embed the watermark into a specific bit-plane of mid-frequency coefficients. This is equivalent to the differential energy watermarking (DEW) in the spatial domain. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is imperceptible, good for the watermark payload, and robustness against various attacks. Moreover, it is more efficient than any other algorithm working in only one domain.

This paper proposes a watermarking scheme to protect ownership of a digital hologram, an ultra-high value-added content. It performs pre-defined levels of quad-tree Fresnelet transforms. The relationship among the same-positional-blocks is extracted as the digital pre-watermark. For the relationship, we use properties of a digital hologram that a hologram pixel retains all the information of the object and that the same size of partial holograms reconstructs the same size of object but different in their view points. Also we mix a set of private data with the pre-watermark and the result is encrypted by a block cipher algorithm with a private key. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme is very robust for the various malicious and non-malicious attacks. Also because it extracts the watermarking data instead of inserting, the watermarking process does not harm the original hologram data. So, it is expected to be used effectively for invisible and robust watermark for digital holograms.

Reversible DNA watermarking is capable of continuous DNA storage and forgery prevention, and has the advantage of being able to analyze biological mutation processes by external watermarking by iterative process of concealment and restoration. In this paper, we propose a reversible DNA watermarking method based on histogram multiple shifting of noncoding DNA sequence that can prevent false start codon, maintain original sequence length, maintain high watermark capacity without biologic mutation. The proposed method transforms the non-coding region DNA sequence to the n-th code coefficients and embeds the multiple bits of the n-th code coefficients by the non-recursive histogram multiple shifting method. The multi-bit embedding process prevents the false start codon generation through comparison search between adjacent concealed nucleotide sequences. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the proposed method has higher watermark capacity of 0.004-0.382 bpn than the conventional method and has higher watermark capacity than the additional data. Also, it was confirmed that false start codon was not generated unlike the conventional method.

Due to the development of the network and Internet, it is easy to copy and spread digital data. These data has the advantage of being able to be copy without loss. However, this has generated a problem over copyright. The problem occurred in GIS, too. Although GIS data acquisition is the major cost there is insufficient effort made to protect copyright. For this reason watermarking could be a good method to guarantee owner's copyright. This paper will explain watermarking, and show an overview of watermarking studies connecting image and vector data.
