Watermarking is used for protecting copyright of digital images. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for watermarking using Contourlet Transform (CT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). CT ensures imperceptibility of the watermark and SVD ensures its robustness against attacks. Arnold transform is used for scrambling watermark pixels to ensure watermark security. Watermark extraction is semi-blind, which avoids the need for original image for extraction. Both watermark and cover image are color images. Performance of the system is judged by using PSNR and Correlation Coefficient (CC) values. System shows good robustness against noise, JPEG compression, filtering and cropping

Copyright protection is a vital issue in modern day’s data transmission over
internet. For copyright protection, watermarking technique is extensively used. In this

This document discusses a proposed method for document image authentication using harmonic secret sharing and permutation. The method generates shares from a document image using Shamir's secret sharing scheme and embeds the shares in the alpha channel plane of a PNG image. During authentication, the shares extracted from the alpha channel are used to verify blocks of the document image. If a block is tampered, the method can repair it using reverse Shamir on collected shares from untampered blocks. The method aims to authenticate documents, verify owners, detect and correct errors, and localize alterations with secret sharing and permutation for security.

Image steganography is the art of hiding a message, image, or file within another message, image, or file. Likely, an old term in Ancient Greek, Steganography is derived from steganos meaning ―”concealed” and graphein meaning ―”writing”, in other word we can say it refers to the science of “invisible” communication. Unlike cryptography, where the goal is to secure communications from an eavesdropper, steganography techniques strive to hide the very presence of the message itself froman observer. In this research paper we deal with hiding a digital message image inside a digital cover image leading us to the stego image. With the combination of Message Preparation using Spatial Domain image modification technique, discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and image scrambled using modified Arnold Transform, an algorithm based on the three technologies is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed methods has been estimated by computing Mean square error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm is highly secured with good perceptual invisibility

A robust combination of dwt and chaotic function for image watermarkingijctet
This document summarizes a research paper on a robust image watermarking technique that combines discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and a chaotic function. The proposed method embeds a watermark into selected blocks of the low-frequency DWT subband of an image. It calculates the Euclidean distance between blocks of the watermark and image to select the most similar block for embedding.

Experimental results on test images show increasing k decreases image quality metrics like PSNR between the original and encrypted images as expected.
Data Hiding and Retrieval using Visual CryptographyAM Publications
Nath et al. developed several methods for hiding data in a cover file using different steganography
methods. In some methods Nath et al. first applied encryption method before hiding into the cover file. For security
reasons the secret message is encrypted first before inserting into the cover file. To make the system more complex the
authors used some random insertion of bits so that even if the intruders can extract the bits from cover file but they
cannot reconstruct the original secret message. In the present work the authors applied different data hiding
algorithm based on visual cryptography. Visual Cryptography is now a days a very popular method for hiding any
secret message inside multiple shares. Initially people were trying to hide some secret message which is simply B/W in
two shares. But slowly the researchers started to hide any color image (may be text or image or any object) in two or
more shares. In the present work the authors tried to hide any color message/image in two or more shares. The
interesting part of the present method is that from one share it impossible to create the second share or to extract the
hidden secret message from one share without having the other share(s). The present method may be used for
reconstructing password or any kind of important message or image. The present method may be applied in forensic
department or in defense for sending some confidential message

A comparatively study on visual cryptographyeSAT Journals
Abstract The effective and secure protections of sensitive information are primary concerns in commercial, medical and military systems. To address the reliability problems for secret images, a visual cryptography scheme is a good alternative to remedy the vulnerabilities. Visual cryptography is a very secure and unique way to protect secrets. Visual cryptography is an encryption technique which is used to hide information which is present in an image. Unliketraditional cryptographic schemes, it uses human eyes to recover the secret without any complex decryption algorithms and the facilitate of computers. It is a secret sharing scheme which uses images distributed as shares such that, when the shares are superimposed, a hidden secret image is revealed.In this paper we represent various cryptography technique and research work done in this field.

Modified weighted embedding method for image steganographyIAEME Publication
This document proposes a modified weighted embedding method for image steganography. It begins by discussing traditional LSB substitution methods and their weaknesses. It then describes the proposed method, which embeds data by complementing LSBs in image pixels based on the decimal value of the data, rather than direct bit replacement. This is intended to provide better security while maintaining high image quality. The embedding algorithm works by converting the data to decimal, dividing the cover image into blocks, and complementing LSBs in the block pixels based on the decimal digits and an embedding table. Extraction works similarly but in reverse. Experiments on grayscale images are said to support the method.
A DWT based Dual Image Watermarking Technique for Authenticity and Watermark ...sipij
In this paper we propose a DWT based dual watermarking technique wherein both blind and non-blind algorithms are used for the copyright protection of the cover/host image and the watermark respectively. We use the concept of embedding two watermarks into the cover image by actually embedding only one, to authenticate the source image and protect the watermark simultaneously. Here the DWT coefficients of the primary watermark (logo) are modified using another smaller secondary binary image (sign) and the midfrequency coefficients of the cover/host image. Since the watermark has some features of host image embedded in it, the security is increased two-fold and it also protects the watermark from any misuse or copy attack. For this purpose a new pseudorandom generator based on the mathematical constant π has been developed and used successfully in various stages of the algorithm. We have also proposed a new approach of applying pseudo-randomness in selecting the watermark pixel values for embedding in the cover image. In all the existing techniques the randomness is incorporated in selecting the location to embed the watermark. This makes the embedding process more unpredictable. The cover image which is watermarked with the signed-logo is subjected to various attacks like cropping, rotation, JPEG compression, scaling and noising. From the results it has been found that it is very robust and has good invisibility as well.
Image Steganography Based On Non Linear Chaotic AlgorithmIJARIDEA Journal
Abstract— Late inquires about of picture steganography have been progressively in light of clamorous frameworks, yet the disadvantages of little key space and powerless security in one-dimensional disorderly cryptosystems are self-evident. This paper presents steganography with nonlinear riotous calculation (NCA) which utilizes control capacity and digression work rather than straight capacity. Its basic parameters are acquired by test examination. The message with the key is then consolidated with the cover picture utilizing LSB installing and discrete cosine change.

The document summarizes a proposed user-friendly image sharing scheme that uses JPEG-LS prediction and LSB matching functions. The scheme encodes a secret image into meaningful shadow images using different prime numbers for different blocks, as determined by JPEG-LS prediction. It hides the prime number indicators in the least significant bits of pixels using LSB matching to prevent image degradation. The experimental results showed the reconstructed image quality was higher than previous schemes, making it suitable for applications requiring high quality images like medicine, military, or art.
Steganography is the technique of hiding the fact that communication is taking place,
by hiding data in other data. Many different carrier file formats can be used, but digital images
are the most popular because of their frequency on the Internet. For hiding secret information in
images, there exist a large variety of steganographic techniques. Steganalysis, the detection of this
hidden information, is an inherently difficult problem.In this paper,I am going to cover different
steganographic techniques researched by different researchers.

Corner (HBC) algorithm is used to place a key at corners of the image. All the corner keys are encrypted by generating Pseudo
Random Numbers. The Secret keys are used for corner parts. Then the hidden image is transmitted. The receiver should be aware of
the keys that are used at the corners while encrypting the image. Reverse Data Hiding (RDH) is used to get the original image and it
proceeds once when all the corners are unlocked with proper secret keys. With these methods the performance of the stegnographic

This document proposes a variable length key-based visual cryptography scheme for encrypting color images. It involves encrypting the original image using a variable length symmetric key, generating shares of the encrypted image using random numbers, and decrypting the shares by stacking a minimum number of shares and applying the same encryption key. The proposed scheme aims to improve security over simple visual cryptography by using an encryption key and random number-based share generation, making the shares and encrypted image different from the original image. It is described as having less complex share generation than other techniques while providing security through the use of encryption and a variable length key.

An efficient and highly secure technique to encryptZiadAlqady
The document proposes an efficient and highly secure technique for encrypting and decrypting color images. The technique works by dividing the original image matrix into blocks, selecting secret keys of equal size to the blocks, and applying exclusive-OR operations between the blocks and keys. Testing showed encryption and decryption times were small and linearly increased with image size. The encrypted images were distorted while decrypted images matched the originals. The technique achieved a high throughput between 28-29 MBits/sec, making it more efficient than other methods.

The document proposes a medical image watermarking scheme with tamper detection and recovery capabilities. The scheme embeds authentication and recovery watermarks into image blocks. Tamper detection is performed in two levels by examining sub-blocks and blocks. Tampered blocks are recovered by replacing pixel intensities from the mapped reference block. Experiments showed near 100% precision in tamper detection and localization. Recovery rates were 100% for spread tampering and over 86% for single block tampering of less than half the image. The scheme verifies image integrity and authenticity while enabling recovery of tampered regions.

The technique works by dividing the original image matrix into blocks, selecting secret keys of equal size to the blocks, and applying exclusive-OR operations between the blocks and keys. Testing showed encryption and decryption times were small and linearly increased with image size. The encrypted images were distorted while decrypted images matched the originals. The technique achieved a high throughput between 28-29 MBits/sec, making it more efficient than other methods.

DWT-DCT-SVD Based Semi Blind Image Watermarking Using Middle Frequency BandIOSR Journals
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a semi-blind image watermarking technique using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), and singular value decomposition (SVD). The technique embeds a watermark in the middle frequency band of the DWT domain of a host image. It modifies the singular values of the DCT coefficients of the middle frequency band using singular values of the DCT transformed watermark. The watermark can then be extracted from the watermarked image using inverse processes. The technique was tested on various attacks and showed robustness, with correlation values between the extracted and original watermarks ranging from 0.5308 to 0.9665 and PSNR values indicating impercept

The document proposes a medical image watermarking scheme with tamper detection and recovery capabilities. The scheme embeds authentication and recovery watermarks into image blocks. Tamper detection is performed in two levels by examining sub-blocks and blocks. Tampered blocks are recovered by replacing pixel intensities from the mapped reference block. Experiments showed near 100% precision in tamper detection and localization. Recovery rates were 100% for spread tampering and over 86% for single block tampering of less than half the image. The scheme verifies image integrity and authenticity while enabling recovery of tampered regions.
This document discusses digital watermarking (DWM), which involves hiding invisible signatures or visible logos in digital media like images, video and audio. DWM can be used for copyright protection, owner identification and content authentication. Watermarks are classified as perceptible or imperceptible, robust or fragile, and private or public depending on their visibility, ability to withstand modifications, and whether the original data is needed for detection. The document outlines the DWM process, common attacks, advantages, disadvantages and techniques like least significant bit encoding.
Digital Watermarking Of Medical(DICOM) ImagesPrashant Singh
This project addresses authenticity and integrity of medical images using watermarking. Watermarking can be seen as an additional tool for security measures. As the medical tradition is very strict with the quality of biomedical images, the watermarking method must be reversible or if not, region of Interest (ROI) needs to be defined and left intact. Watermarking should also serve as an integrity control and should be able to authenticate the medical image.
Digital watermarking allows information to be hidden in images and later extracted for purposes like identification and authentication. It has properties like robustness, transparency, security and complexity. There are two main types: perceptible and imperceptible watermarks. Watermarking techniques include image domain, transform domain and masking. Digital watermarking provides advantages like easy embedding and platform independence, while disadvantages include loss of watermark from image manipulation. Applications include military uses like tamper detection and civilian uses like copyright protection of digital media.
Digital watermarking techniques can be used to hide copyright information in digital media such as images, audio, and video. There are three main phases in a digital watermarking system: embedding, where the watermark is hidden in the cover media; attacks, where the watermarked content may be modified; and extraction, where the watermark is detected. Watermarking techniques can be classified based on various parameters such as whether they produce robust or fragile watermarks, the domain in which embedding occurs (spatial or frequency), and whether keys are required for embedding and detection. Common spatial domain techniques include least significant bit embedding and spread spectrum modulation, while frequency domain techniques operate in the discrete cosine transform or discrete wavelet transform domains.
Digital watermarking involves embedding a hidden signal or watermark into digital content like images, audio or video. It can be used for copyright protection, content authentication and metadata tagging. There are different types of watermarking including robust, fragile, visible, invisible, public and private watermarking. Common techniques include LSB watermarking, color separation and bit stream watermarking. Digital watermarking faces attacks from techniques like Stirmark and mosaic attacks but continues to be an effective method for protecting digital multimedia content and verifying its authenticity.
Digital watermarking allows users to embed special patterns or data into digital content like images, audio, and video without changing the perceptual quality. Watermarking helps protect copyright ownership by embedding information directly into the media itself through small changes to the content data. Watermarks can be invisible, inseparable from the content after processing, and do not change the file size. Watermarks are classified based on human perception (visible or invisible), robustness (fragile, semi-fragile, or robust), and the type of document (text, image, audio, or video). Frequency domain techniques like discrete cosine transformation are commonly used to embed watermarks in images and videos.
The document describes a digital image watermarking algorithm using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) and human visual system (HVS) analysis. It proposes embedding a watermark in the DWT sub-bands of an image based on weight factors determined by HVS characteristics. The algorithm extracts the watermark from the watermarked image for detection. Experimental results show the watermark is still extracted after compression and cropping of the watermarked image, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed scheme.
Digital watermarking is a technique for hiding copyright information in digital content such as images, audio and video. A digital watermark is imperceptibly embedded in the digital content and can be extracted or detected to prove ownership. There are two main types of watermarks - visible watermarks that can be seen and invisible watermarks that cannot be seen by the human eye. Watermarking techniques include spatial domain and frequency domain methods. The Fast Hadamard Transform is commonly used for digital image watermarking as it allows for faster processing times and robust watermarks. The watermarking process involves embedding, attacks on the watermarked content, and detection of the watermark.
Digital watermarking has been proposed as a solution to the problem of copyright protection of
multimedia documents in networked environments. There are two important issues that watermarking
algorithms need to address. First, watermarking schemes are required to provide trustworthy evidence for
protecting rightful ownership. Second, good watermarking schemes should satisfy the requirement of
robustness and resist distortions due to common image manipulations (such as filtering, compression,
etc.). In this paper, a watermarking algorithm is proposed based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform
(DWT), Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) and Singular value decomposition (SVD). Analysis and
experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method performs well in both security and
robustness.

Digital watermarking is an essential technique to add hidden copyright notices or secret messages to digital audio, image, or image forms. In this paper we introduce a new approach for digital image watermarking for real time applications. We have successfully implemented the digital watermarking technique on digital images based on 2-level Discrete Wavelet Transform and compared the performance of the proposed method with Level-1 and Level-2 and Level-3 Discrete Wavelet Transform using the parameter peak signal to noise ratio. To make the watermark robust and to preserve visual significant information a 2-Level Discrete wavelet transform used as transformation domain for both secret image and original image.

This document discusses a method for embedding a binary watermark image into a digital video using a hybrid of three transforms: discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and singular value decomposition (SVD). The method first applies DCT to frames of the video, then applies three-level DWT to the transformed frames. SVD is then applied to both the transformed video frames and the watermark image. The watermark is embedded by modifying coefficients of the video based on the SVD results. PSNR, MSE, and correlation are used to evaluate the quality and robustness of the watermarked video.
A Review on Robust Digital Watermarking based on different Methods and its Ap...IJSRD
Digital Watermarking is the process of embedding data called watermark or signature or label or tag into a multimedia object (image or audio or video) so that the watermark can be extracted for ownership verification or authentication. A visible watermark is a secondary translucent image overlaid into the primary image and appears visible to a viewer on a careful inspection. The invisible watermark is embedded in such a way that the modification made to the pixel value is perceptually not noticed and it can be recovered only with an appropriate decoding mechanism. Digital watermarking is used to hide the information inside a signal, which cannot be easily extracted by the third party. Its widely used application is copyright protection of digital information. It is different from the encryption in the sense that it allows the user to access, view and interpret the signal but protect the ownership of the content. One of the current research areas is to protect digital watermark inside the information so that ownership of the information cannot be claimed by third party.
