Abstract
In this paper, we focus on a step of the watermarking process whose importance has been disregarded so far. In this perspective, we introduce the vector extraction paradigm which is the transformation between digital data and an abstract vector representation of these data. As an application, we propose a new, robust technique in order to insert watermarks in executable code.
