Image double fragile watermarking algorithm based on block neighborhood by Yilong WANG, Zhenyu LI, Daofu GONG, Fenlin LIU

“…To address the security risks associated with fixed offset mapping in self-embedded watermarking technology, as well as the limited recovery rate of single watermarking methods, an image double fragile watermarking algorithm based on block neighborhood was proposed.The image was divided into non-overlapping blocks of size 4×4 and block truncation coding was used to generate the recovery watermark based on the image block.For each image block, a neighborhood of a proper size was specified and two mapping blocks were randomly selected from the regions within and outside the neighborhood.Then the recovery watermark was embedded into the two mapping blocks simultaneously.The image block neighborhood setting mechanism of the algorithm ensured that the image block maintains a certain distance from its corresponding mapping block.Additionally, the selection mechanism of mapping blocks inside and outside the image block neighborhood ensured a certain distance between the two mapping blocks, thereby guaranteeing the security of the watermark.In the case of continuous region tampering, the relationship between the tampered region and the neighborhood of the image block was analyzed theoretically.The analysis showed that a suitable image block neighborhood can improve the average recovery rate of the tampered area compared with the random mapping embedding algorithm.Besides, the distribution trend of the average recovery rate of the tampered area and the recovery rate of each image block in the tampered area were given by numerical calculation.It was found that the tampered area image block can be recovered 100%, some image blocks in the center of the tampered area can be recovered 100%, and the recovery rate of image blocks in tampered area will be reduced.The experimental results verify the rationality and effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.Moreover, when the neighborhood parameters are large, the proposed algorithm achieves a higher average recovery rate of the tampered region than the random mapping embedding algorithm in the case of continuous region tampering.…”

Research on strong robustness watermarking algorithm based on dynamic difference expansion by Tianqi WANG, Yingzhou ZHANG, Yunlong DI, Dingwen LI, Linlin ZHU

“…A surge in the amount of information comes with the rapid development of the technology industry.Across all industries, there is a need to collect and utilize vast amounts of data.While this big data holds immense value, it also poses unprecedented challenges to the field of data security.As relational databases serve as a fundamental storage medium for data, they often contain large-scale data rich in content and privacy.In the event of a data leak, significant losses may occur, highlighting the pressing need to safeguard database ownership and verify data ownership.However, existing database watermarking technologies face an inherent tradeoff between improving watermark embedding capacity and reducing data distortion.To address this issue and enhance watermark robustness, a novel robust database watermarking algorithm based on dynamic difference expansion was introduced.The QR code was employed as the watermark, the SVD decomposition of the low frequency part of the image was utilized after Haar wavelet transform.By extracting specific feature values and using residual feature values as the watermark sequence, it was ensured that the same-length watermark sequence contains more information and the embedded watermark length can be reduced.Furthermore, by combining the adaptive differential evolution algorithm and the minimum difference algorithm, the optimal embedding attribute bits were selected to alleviate the problems of low computational efficiency, high data distortion and poor robustness of traditional difference expansion techniques in embedding watermarks, and to improve the embedding capacity of watermarks while reducing the distortion of data.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a high watermark embedding rate with low data distortion.It is resilient against multiple attacks, exhibiting excellent robustness and strong traceability.Compared to existing algorithms, it offers distinct advantages and holds great potential for broad application in the field of data security.…”

New image encryption algorithm based on double chaotic system and compressive sensing by Yuguang YANG, Guodong CAO

“…Image encryption technology plays an important role in today’s multimedia applications and Internet information security transmission.However, most image encryption algorithms still have problems, for example, cipher images occupied high bandwidth during transmission, image encryption speed is slow, image encryption algorithms are not associated with plain image, and there is no complete ciphertext feedback mechanism.These problems all affect the security and easy use of image encryption algorithms.In order to solve the above problems, the compressive sensing technology and chaotic system were studied, and a new image encryption algorithm based on double chaotic system and compressive sensing with plaintext association was proposed.The plaintext image association key was used to associate the plain image hash value with the Logistic chaotic system parameters.Discrete wavelet transform, was used to sparse the plain image.Then the random measurement matrix was generated by the Logistic chaos system, and the image was encrypted once by combining the compressive sensing technique and the random measurement matrix to obtain the intermediate image.The intermediate image was hashed again, and the Rucklidge chaos system initial value was associated with the plain image hash value together.The Rucklidge chaotic system and encryption algorithm were used to control the intermediate image for secondary encryption and accordingly obtain the cipher image.The encryption algorithm was a new plaintext correlation encryption algorithm, which used the image’s own pixel value to control the scrambling of the intermediate image.It also enhanced the plaintext association and established a ciphertext feedback mechanism.Simulation results and performance analysis show that the algorithm has good encryption performance.The encrypted image can be compressed according to the compression ratio, effectively reducing the size of the cipher image.Moreover, it is resistant to common attacks such as known plaintext attack, selective plaintext attack and differential attack, which is better than other common image encryption algorithms.…”
