“…The authors in [9] proposed a watermarking algorithm based on a lossy compression algorithm to ensure authentication and forgery detection. A cryptography-based bit-pair matching watermarking mechanism in the spatial domain was suggested in [4], where symmetric key cryptography was used for watermark encryption to protect information from intruders on the communication channel. The watermarking mechanism can improve security while minimizing the growth of the security traffic.…”

Fast and reliable authentication is a crucial requirement of communications networks and has various research challenges in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. In IoT-based applications, as fast and user-friendly access and high security are required simultaneously, biometric identification of the user, such as the face, iris, or fingerprint, is broadly employed as an authentication approach. Moreover, a so-called multi-factor authentication that combines user identification with other identification information, including token information and device identity, is usedto enhance the authentication security level. This paper proposes a novel twofactor authentication scheme for intelligent communication and control systems by utilizing the watermarking technique to incorporate the mobile device authentication component into the user’s facial recognition image. Our proposed scheme offers user-friendliness while improving user security and privacy and reducing authentication information exchange procedures to provide a secure and lightweight schema in real applications. The proposed scheme’s security advantages are validated using the widely accepted Burrows–Abadi–Needham (BAN) logic and experimentally assessed using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) simulator tool. Finally, our experimental results show that the proposed authentication scheme is an innovative solution for a smarthome control system, such as a smart lock door operation.

In this paper, an effective and robust method of image cryptography scheme is proposed using Phase Congruence Correlative (PCC) method and Arnold Cat Map (ACM). The secret image or a secret watermark is scrambled using ACM method. This scrambled secret image is then embedded into a host image using Adaptive α-β Blending method. The place of embedding in the host image is effectively obtained using PCC method. The embedded image is subjected to various attacks and the secret image is retrieved from the distorted embedded image. This retrieved secret image is compared with the original secret image and various parameters like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Absolute Difference (AD), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Maximum Difference (MD) are obtained. This proposed method proves to provide better performance metrics over the past methods.

“…Shehab et al [15] proposed an SVD based fragile watermarking scheme using grouped block method offering more security and providing the possibility to locate the attacked areas inside different medical images. Bal et al [16] presented an LSB watermarking procedure based on bit pair similarity, to make the watermark more secure the authors utilized symmetric key cryptography. Kumar and Singh [17] proposed a novel scheme based on the encryption of the watermark image by using the Hill Cipher method before the embedding procedure, the robustness of this method was demonstrated by testing multiple attacks.…”

<span lang="EN-US">Image watermarking is one of the most popular techniques used to assure information security, integrity, and authenticity. Watermarking algorithms can be categorised, according to the domain of insertion, as either spatial or spectral domain-based watermarking approaches. The resulted watermark can also be classified as either strong designed to withstand malicious attacks or fragile designed to detect every possible alteration. In order to combine the advantages of the two categories of watermarking algorithms, this paper proposes a new fragile hybrid domain-based watermarking scheme to get both robustness and imperceptibility using an optimal embedding strategy according to the entropy values of the host images blocs. To enhance security and safety, the watermark undergoes an encryption using Huffman encoding to produce a scrambled watermark. This scheme is evaluated based on different metrics like the peak signal to noise ratio, the structural index similarity, and the normalized correlation coefficient, satisfactory results are attained. The experimental results show that Huffman encryption and optimal blocs selection offer good features of security and imperceptibility.</span>
