“…In robust watermarking schemes the watermark is designed such that it can stand malicious attacks like deletion, modification, and cropping. Robust watermarking is used mainly for copyright protection [ 21 , 22 ]. Fragile watermarking embeds the watermark (secret message) into the data stream in such a way that any change or tampering with the original data would corrupt the watermark.…”

Limited energy is the most critical constraint that limits the capabilities of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Most sensors operate on batteries with limited power. Battery recharging or replacement may be impossible. Security mechanisms that are based on public key cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and digital signatures are prohibitively expensive in terms of energy consumption and storage requirements, and thus unsuitable for WSN applications. This paper proposes a new fragile watermarking technique to detect unauthorized alterations in WSN data streams. We propose the FWC-D scheme, which uses group delimiters to keep the sender and receivers synchronized and help them to avoid ambiguity in the event of data insertion or deletion. The watermark, which is computed using a hash function, is stored in the previous group in a linked-list fashion to ensure data freshness and mitigate replay attacks, FWC-D generates a serial number SN that is attached to each group to help the receiver determines how many group insertions or deletions occurred. Detailed security analysis that compares the proposed FWC-D scheme with SGW, one of the latest integrity schemes for WSNs, shows that FWC-D is more robust than SGW. Simulation results further show that the proposed scheme is much faster than SGW.

Cheque Truncation System (CTS) is a technique of preventing tangible movement of cheque by substituting it with a digital image, with an aim for secure and faster clearance. For the first time re-watermarking is applied for authenticating transactions in CTS. Methodology for the proposed approach splits the host image (I h ) into two layers (L). In L 1 cheque details are fused with two image color channels to form a composite message (C m ). Secure hash algorithm (SHA-512) is applied to C m to generate a unique message digest (M d ). Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is applied to M d to create a digital signature. The signature is embedded by exploiting Human Visual System (HVS) color channel sensitivity in equally parted mode. In L 2 , joint secret is established to form key using Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman Protocol (ECDHP). Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is applied to user details intricate in the transaction. Encrypted contents are then inserted in L 2 by applying Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Experimental results state solution to integrity concerns by using ECDSA with SHA-512, reaction to security issues by AES and the response to key distribution problem by ECDHP. An effective semi-blind CTS is perceived with PSNR between 59-60 dB.

Perceptible watermarking system is an imperative copyright protection tool for digital images. Perceptible watermarks safeguard the digital images in a better vigorous manner, then imperceptible watermarks. The paper presents a multiple perceptible watermarking approach for copyright protection. Two perceptible watermarks are embedded to the color digital images. The watermarked image comprehends noticeable but un-obstructive watermark evidence. The proposed system can be castoff for advertisement and copyright uses. General TermsWatermarking
