Abstract
The spreading wings of the Internet are facing significant obstacles for preserving the intellectual property of individuals and organizations. Threats to digital data and the rights of its creator are always an issue of concern as copying of digital data is easy. The ease of dissemination of digital data leads to penetration in intellectual property rights. Here, rights mean financial and moral interests of the author. The authors have faced risk in protecting their unique ideas, products and/or services. It can be achieved by embedding some copyright information with digital data. Digital watermarking allows the authentication of the data over the intrusion of the attackers. In this paper, we will consider a reversible technique for digital watermarking where the original message or cover is recovered after the extraction of hidden data. A digest of the hidden data is created and embedded with the cover that can be extracted on the receiver end using the extracting algorithm. In addition, the use of private key increases the security level. The cover image can be retrieved in lossless manner and can be reused for further moderations.
