Combination of Multiple Techniques Used For Combined Encryption And

Digital Watermarking Gives Better Performance over Individual Techniques

for Security of Still Image.
Need for Research
Recent advancements in computer technologies offer many facilities:

Duplication.

Distribution.

Creation.

Manipulation of digital contents.

Problem Definition
Recently Digital Images are utilized in various applications such as:
Digital image used as logo on Indian currency note.
Digital image of cheques used by CTS of bank.
Digital image of patients reports used by doctors.

Digital images taken by satellites,etc.

To provide the security & copyright protection for digital images, it is proposed to study of security &
copyright protection technique like Digital Watermarking .
Types of imags:-

Medical Image.
Indoor Image.
Outdoor Image.
Satellite Image
Types of watermark

Visible Watermark:

Visible watermarks are an extension of the concept of logos.

Such watermarks are applicable to images only.

These logos are inlaid into the image but they are transparent.

Such watermarks cannot be removed by cropping the centre part of the image.

Further, such watermarks are protected against attacks such as statistical analysis

Invisible Watermark :

Invisible watermark is hidden in the content.

It can be detected by an authorized agency only.

Such watermarks are used for content and/or author authentication and for detecting unauthorized
copier

Public Watermark :

Such a watermark can be read or retrieved by anyone using the specialized algorithm.

In this sense, public watermarks are not secure.

However, public watermarks are useful for carrying (IPR) information.

They are good alternatives to labels

Perceptual Watermark :

A perceptual watermark exploits the aspects of human sensory system to provide invisible yet
robust watermark

Private Watermark :

Private watermarks are also known as secure watermarks.

To read or retrieve such a watermark, it is necessary to have the secret key.

Fragile Watermark :

Fragile watermarks are also known as tamper-proof watermarks.

Such watermarks are destroyed by data manipulation.

Methods used for Implementing Digital Watermarking Techniques

Frequency Domain Method.
Spatial Domain Method.
Neural Network Method.
Fuzzy Logic Domain Method.
Genetic Algorithm Method.

Objectives of Research
