Abstract

Digital watermarking is a technique first described in 1979 which aims to embed extra pieces of information into some cover work for protection. This information is known as a digital watermark and its presence shouldn’t affect the overall quality of the cover work. To date the majority of digital watermarking techniques employ watermarks generated by iterating pseudorandom number generators. These watermarks have been shown to possess white spectrums and have good robustness to common watermark attacks. Watermarks generated using chaotic functions have received increasing interest recently. Numerous chaotic functions have been studied for this process and the generated watermark sequences can be easily controlled in order to create a sequence with particular spectral properties, e.g. lowpass sequence. This chapter will present the field of chaotic digital watermarking and examine three chaotic functions used in chaos based watermarking and show the advantages of using these over the more common pseudorandom ones.
