Abstract

With the advancement in information technology, the illegal use, manipulation and tampering of the digital data has become very easy. Due to these threats, security of the digital data has become very important. Digital watermarking is one of the approach which is used to handle the threats to the digital data. The watermark is a secret data to be embedded into any digital media like image, video, audio or text file which is further used for copyright protection and authentication of the data. The image in which the watermark is embedded, is termed as cover image and after embeddeding a cover image is termed as watermarked image. A general digital watermarking technique consists of a embedding and extraction algorithms, as shown in first figure of this chapter. The embedding algorithm embeds a watermark into the cover image and the watermarked image is generated. The watermarked image is further processed by an extraction algorithm to extract the watermark when required. To check the features such as robustness, fragility etc. attacks are executed on the watermarked image and then the watermark is extracted from it.
