Most of current watermarking algorithms for GIS vector data embed copyright information by means of modifying the coordinate values, which will do harm to its quality and accuracy. To preserve the fidelity of vector line data and protect its copyright at the same time, a lossless watermarking algorithm is proposed based on storage feature in this paper. Firstly, the superiority of embedding watermark based on storage feature is demonstrated theoretically and technically. Then, the basic concepts and operations on storage feature have been defined including length and angle of the polyline feature. In the process of embedding watermark, the watermark information is embedded into directions of polyline feature by the quantitative mechanism, while the positions of embedding watermark are determined by the feature length. Hence, the watermark can be extracted by the same geometric features without original data or watermark. Finally, experiments have been conducted to show that coordinate values remain unchanged after embedding watermark. Moreover, experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Multispectral image is wavelet trans formed and classified into one of three classes considering reference characteristics of the subband with the lowest resolution. Recently, aegis of authentitation and creator's copyright has become a matter of great concern by the diffusion of multimedia technique and the growth of the internet and the easily duplicated property of digital data. Consequently, many active researches have been made to protect copyright and to assure integrity by inserting watermark into the digital data. In this paper, watermark is repeated through the entire image and adapted to the content of the image.

The information of world is most likely to be created as digital data. These digital productions need some legal protection mechanisms or techniques because users can illegally use them. Thus many researchers are developing various techniques. Currently most techniques are focusing on the physical and chemical methods like disk inspection for taking legal evidence about production infringement. This paper has developed a computer forensics-based copyrights protection system capable of detecting and notifying disobedience facts when user uses illegally a production. Furthermore if the user infringes continually the production the system stores the infringement facts to take the legal evidence by mapping to law for intellectual property right. The technique can protect data from digital evidence manipulation or destruction.

With the coming of information times, digital contents are widely applied in various fields of the society. Along with this, scholars provided many techniques and research approaches related to digital contents management and copyright protection. But till now, most proposed techniques and approaches are based on single system. The independency and separation among management systems causes the problems such as application across systems are limited, and resources sharing can't be available, etc. In this paper, for the application cross systems and contents sharing, we propose the cross-systems DRM approach based on unified metadata. This approach can be applied for the incorporation of multiple congeneric or heterogeneous CMSs, in the same time, solve the copyright problem cross digital content systems.

The scholarly communication crisis is not a journals crisis, but rather a broader crisis in information communications. It is the loss of access to the scholarly research literature, as the rising cost of STM journal subscriptions far out-strip academic library budgets. Now, the open access as alternatives to traditional journal subscription model are emerging for STM scholarly information. There are basically three forms for OA strategies : Open Access Journals(OAJ), Author Self Archiving(ASA), Academic Institutional Repositories(AIR). This paper describes the current trends and analyses potentially serious limitations and obstacles or various issues of the OA strategies, including the notion of scholarly information as a public good, myths of free access, author pay model, holder of copyright, etc.

For small-scale vector data, restrictions on watermark scheme capacity and robustness limit the use of copyright protection. A watermarking scheme based on robust geometric features and capacity maximization strategy that simultaneously improves capacity and robustness is presented in this paper. The distance ratio and angle of adjacent vertices are chosen as the watermark domain due to their resistance to vertex and geometric attacks. Regarding watermark embedding and extraction, a capacity-improved strategy based on quantization index modulation, which divides more intervals to carry sufficient watermark bits, is proposed. By considering the error tolerance of the vector map and the numerical accuracy, the optimization of the capacity-improved strategy is studied to maximize the embedded watermark bits for each vertex. The experimental results demonstrated that the map distortion caused by watermarks is small and much lower than the map tolerance. Additionally, the proposed scheme can embed a copyright image of 1024 bits into vector data of 150 vertices, which reaches capacity at approximately 14 bits/vertex, and shows prominent robustness against vertex and geometric attacks for small-scale vector data.

At present Content Management Systems (CMS) with various and diverse web contents have been in wide applications. But, for CMS of each enterprise has its own metadata which is very different from others, it causes the serious problem of web contents repetition. Also, it's a difficult technology to support protecting copyright of web contents which are in separated CMSs. Therefore, in this paper, we solved the problem of contents repetition through metadata integration between mutually heterogeneous CMSs. We also propose the technology of web contents authentication code for avoiding contents repetition and applying digital rights protection by supporting safe ship in vast quantity of contents.

ICT(Information Communication Technology) is a key word in our society on today. Various support programs by the government have given many quantitative and qualitative changes to the software industries. Software is instructions(Computer Program) and data structure. Software can be divided into Application program and System program. Application programs have been developed to perform special functions or provide entertainment functions. Because of this rapid growth of software industries, one of the problems is issue on copyright of program. In this paper, we described an analysis method for program similarity based on source code in program.

A watermarking for copyright protection of digital contents for broadcasting have to be made for a real-time system. In this paper, we propose a real-time video watermarking system which is hardware-based watermarking system of SD/HD (standard definition/high definition) video with the STRATIX FPGA device from ALTERA. There was little visual artifact due to watermarking in subjective quality evaluation between the original video and the watermarked one in our experiment. Embedded watermark was extracted after robustness testscalled natural video attacks such as A/D (analog/digital) conversion. Our implemented watermarking hardware system can be useful in movie production and broadcasting companies that requires real-time contents protection systems.

In the field of video watermarking, which adds a time axis to the watermarking of the existing still image, it is important to embed a watermark at a level that can claim copyright while minimizing the overall video quality. In this paper, we focus on the fact that B slices refer to blocks of I and P slices in the Random Access compression method of HEVC. Therefore, We propose that watermark is embedded only in I and P slices and extracted in I, P, and B slices. This can minimize the decreases of the overall image quality of the image and protect the copyright of the B slice without directly embedding the watermark.
