A Watermarking Algorithm for Fingerprinting Intelligence Images
Yiwei Wang, John F. Doherty, Robert E. Van Dyck · 2001
Abstract — The rapid growth of digital multimedia technologies brings tremendous attention to the field of digital watermarking. One application for digital watermarking is fingerprinting. The owner or the distributor of the multimedia data can insert unique watermarks into copies for different customers or receivers, which will be helpful to identify the source of illegal copies. Fingerprinting can be used in an intelligence agency to trace the source of the leak. In this paper, we first identify the requirements for fingerprinting algorithms of intelligence images. Then, we present an algorithm that meets the requirements.
