“…To effectively solve the problem of image copyright protection, image watermarking has been widely studied in recent years. Existing watermarking algorithms can be roughly divided into embedding-based watermarking algorithms [15,32] and non-embedding-based watermarking algorithms [17,30,31,35]. Embedding-based watermarking algorithms embed information into the host image to authenticate the copyright, which may corrupt the host image.…”

In this paper, we develop a robust image zero-watermarking algorithm based on multiple circular statistical features. First of all, we detect stable feature points from the host image, and construct circular region partitions from the identified feature points, which contain the critical information of the host image. Second, the statistics and differences of circular region partitions are calculated, which contain both the local differences and the global information of the host image. Third, we apply discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) in statistics and differences in order to construct the feature image. The stability of DCT and SVD further warrants the robustness of the algorithm. Moreover, Arnold transform is used to scramble the watermark image to enhance the security of the algorithm. Finally, we obtain the zero watermark by performing the exclusive-or (XOR) operation between the feature image and the scrambled watermark image, and the zero watermark is stored in the copyright authentication database for copyright authentication. Moreover, to combat geometric attacks, we develop a blind image correction algorithm without using the original image to accurately correct the attacked image. Numerous experiments and comparisons with the state-of-the-art (SOTA) watermarking algorithms confirm that the proposed algorithm affords good robustness against various attacks, such as filtering attacks, noise attacks, geometric attacks, and even a random combination of the above-stated attacks.

“…Researchers have proposed multimedia authentication schemes to verify the provenance and integrity of multimedia data. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Traditional multimedia authentication schemes are built mainly on digital signatures, secure hash functions, or digital watermarks. However, most of these schemes have the defect of not supporting further transformation.…”

With the prevalence of digital cameras, multimedia data have been used to record facts and provide evidence of events. However, the integrity of multimedia data is vulnerable to attacks with the proliferation of data tampering tools. In fact, an effective multimedia content authentication system should support compliant editing (cropping, rotation, compression, and so forth) and have the ability to detect malicious data tampering. Data traceability is a feasible strategy to verify the integrity and provenance of multimedia data. Besides, the privacy of multimedia data needs to be protected to prevent unauthorized access. In this paper, we trace transformations of multimedia data privately by integrating a transparent and immutable blockchain with trusted hardware that provides the capability of private computation. Our system exploits a hybrid storage pattern that separately stores multimedia data off the blockchain and their hashes on the blockchain. With this, our system ensures data integrity and addresses the issue of blockchain's storage capability. Experimental results and analysis show that our solution is efficient and verifiable. A lightweight verifier merely needs to store block headers and is able to validate query results returned by full nodes.
