What is a Watermark?

A watermark is a secret message that is embedded

into a cover (original or host) message.

Only the knowledge of a secret key allows us toextract the watermark from the cover message.

Effectiveness of a watermarking algorithm is a

function of its

Resilience to attacks.

Capacity.

Stealth.

What Can Be Watermarked?

Multimedia data.

Video.

Audio. Still Images.

Documents.

Software.

Hardware designs.


6/29

Multimedia Watermarks

A digital watermark is a secret key

dependent signal inserted into digital

multimedia data. Watermark can be later detected/extracted in

order to make an assertion about the data.

A digital watermark can be.

Visible (perceptible).

Invisible (imperceptible).


7/29

Watermark Applications

Proof of ownership. Prove ownership in a court of law.

Simple copyright notice may not help for digitalmultimedia data. Easily destroyed.

Copy prevention or control. Recording device may inhibit recording a signal if

detected watermark indicates that it is prohibited.

DVD video and digital music distribution.

Content protection (visible watermarks). Destruction of watermark destroys the content.


8/29


Authentication. Detect if image/video has been altered.

Digital cameras.

Media Bridging. Bridge media such as magazines and the Internet.

Digimarc.

BroadcastM

onitoring. Keep track of when and where an advertisementis played.

ConfirMedia from Verance.


9/29


Fingerprinting. Identify the source of an illegal copy.

Unique watermark embedded in each copy.

DiVX, a modified version of DVD.

Secret Communications.

Hide information such that general public do not

know its presence.

Bin Laden hides attack plans in images on the

web USA Today, Feb. 26, 2001.

Requirements

Requirements vary with application. For

example:

Perceptually transparent - must not perceptuallydegrade original content.

Robust - survive accidental or malicious attempts

at removal.

Oblivious or Non-oblivious - Recoverable with orwithout access to original.

Capacity Number of watermark bits embedded.

Efficient encoding and/or decoding.

Watermark Attacks

Active Attacks.

Hacker attempts to remove or destroy the

watermark. Watermark detector unable to detect watermark.

Key issue in proof of ownership, fingerprinting,

copy control.

Not serious for authentication or covertcommunication.


15/29

Watermark Attacks

Passive Attacks. Hacker tries to find if a watermark is present.

Removal of watermark is not an aim. Serious for covert communications.

Collusion Attacks. Hacker uses several copies of watermarked data

(images, video etc.) to construct a copy with nowatermark.

Uses several copies to find the watermark.

Serious for fingerprinting applications.


16/29

Watermark Attacks

Forgery Attacks.

Hacker tries to embed a valid watermark.

Serious in authentication. If hacker embeds a valid authentication

watermark, watermark detector can accept bogus

or modified media.

Information TheoreticFormulation

A new watermark channel model. Multiplicative and additive attacks.

Models geometric attacks (killer attack).

Attack parameters assumed imperfectlyknown.

Lower and upper bounds on watermarkingcapacity.

Many current capacity estimates are specificcases of proposed estimates.

Capacity in the presence of multiplewatermarks using multiuser information

theory.


25/29

Multiple DescriptionWatermarking

A new framework for watermarking using

multiple description codes.

Partition the source into multiple descriptions. Each description carries enough information.

Allocate watermarking bits to descriptions subject

to distortion constraints.

Experiments for secure wireless mediatransmission is promising.

Rate-distortion theory formulation.


26/29

Decision Theoretic Formulation

How many pixels to watermark ?

A new measure for watermarking capacity.

Different from standard information theoreticformulation.

Perhaps a more practical measure.

Fast watermark detector.

Computation reduction. Useful for hardware implementation.
