WATERMARKING AUTHENTICATION:USING THE FRAGILE MODE OR THE ROBUST MODE?

Due to the lack of a unified authentication model certain mistakes occurred in the use of the wa-termarking authentication methods. To clarify the confusion, authentication models of robust and fragile wa-termarking are developed respectively in the paper. Concrete algorithms are proposed to prove the models that different Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domains are utilized to embed the watermarks and quanti-zation method is presented with Just Notice Differences (JNDs) threshold as the quantization size. After the key technologies about the two methods are discussed, we detail the comparison of the two modes and rec-ommend their respective application scenarios as applicable results.
