Abstract

Image transmission plays an important role in recent studies of engineering and scientific research fields. While transmitting the image, they have to be secured. Many approaches are available for secure transmission of images. This method focuses towards the use of invisible watermarking for encryption purpose. The attacker cannot able to find the difference when watermarking is used. There are two algorithms used for making the watermarking object. The performance evaluation is done by introducing various attacks to the watermarked object and it is done using Matlab 7.11.
