Digital Watermarking

Abstract

Recently, System-On-a-Chip (SOC) technology can easily design and implement a full system on a single chip (chipset). In order to consume time and cost for designing SOC, Intellectual Property blocks (IPs) or virtual components are used. This IP designs require significant amount of time and effort to be developed and verified.
