Abstract

See full text

An electronic watermarking scheme is proposed that can significantly increase the security of copy protection mechanisms. The watermarking methods works at high level in the hierarchy of the (MPEG) source signal. This ensures that the watermark is easily detectable, but difficult to erase without significant transcoding effort. Such transcoding is considered a difficult and expensive task that may furthermore lead to loss of quality or increase in bit rate.
