International journal of computing, communication and instrumentation engineering · 2016
The growth in the Internet and high speed communication networks has explored the means of new e-Business, entertainment, content delivery at run-time, online transactions, personal communications, web magazines/newspapers, e-Publishing/e-Advertising and many more.Such Online Businesses requires a technique to protect intellectual property rights for the digital content that is shared in a distributed environment which usually leads to the issues related to data security .Thus to resolve the problems associated in the field of Electronic copyright protection and data security, Digital Watermarking acts as the core technology.In our previous work, we have proposed a hybrid framework for e-Advertising applications to post the advertisements at various ad-publisher sites.The framework introduces the concept of aggregating the advertisements from set of advertisers, which are later published simultaneously.This makes use of concurrent Mobile agents to process the advertiser request in parallel.In this research work, we propose a Digital Watermark Detection system for e-Advertising applications, which adopts Concurrent Mobile Agents to manage and protect the advertisements (Images + Text) from illegal usage by providing 2-stage copyright protection scheme before publishing at various ad-Publisher sites.With the use of Concurrent Mobile Agents the copyright detection is greatly improved.The proposed work is implemented using Aglet Software Development Kit (ASDK-2.0.2) which is a Java based Mobile Agent platform and MySQL for storage purpose.
