Digital Watermarking: Methods to Protect Digital Goods against Copyright Infringement as an Assumption for a Successful E-Business Integration
Abstract
Multimedia assets have to be marked steganographically to protect the rights of the owner. Digital watermarks are inserted as a bit sample or digital signal into the data with an embedding algorithm using a secret key. The embedded information is hidden (in low-value bits or least significant bits of picture pixels, or in frequency space) and connected inseparably with the data. For the optimal application of watermark technology a trade-off has to be made between competing criteria such as robustness, non-perceptibility, non-detectability, and security. Most watermark algorithms cannot tackle to attacks. Even friendly attacks in form of usual file modifications can destroy very easily the watermark or falsify it.
