Capacity Issues In Image Watermarking

being attacked, encrypt it with a secret key to obtain an encrypted bit stream . For that AES encryption is used. After AES encryption, will embed at the fourth bit position of . Some related information about the mosaic image generation process into the mosaic image for use in the secret image recovery process are also embed at the last fourth bit position of . Such information, described as a bit stream I like M, includes the following data items: 1) encryption key; and 2) total length of before encryption. After all this process Target image with mosaic image, residual value and all information that required to recover original image are transmitted to receiver

Digital modification of photos present in magazines or advertisements has become a habitual practice of 21st century photographers. The present work's purpose is to present an ambivalent account of the existing controversy surrounding photographic enhancement, by focusing on the artful or inspiring aspects together with analyzing its potentially harmful and dishonest nature.

Images that have been photoshopped using software such as Adobes photoshop program should carry watermarks. Many of the image photoshopped are just for practical jokes, but some are for more spurious reasons. Most of the photoshopping occurs on magazines or in hollywood to make actors or models to look close to perfect.

To retain images of identity source documents in electronic storage in a transferable format, technology should be employed to capture digital images.

Ritchin, speculates on digital photography’s relationship to analog photography on space, time, light and authorship. His analysis, of the changes photography has undergone in technology and made easily available, like digital camera been absorbed in various other devises like telephones, refrigerators tables etc., and ultimately one day our skin. The challenges in taking various photos as different angles by amateurs would destroy the quality and genuineness of the picture. There would be no bias decision on what should or should not be made public to the world.

Abstract— Steganography is a technique of hiding the secret information. Steganography hides the existence of the secret data and make the communication undetectable. Secret data can be communicated in an appropriate multimedia carrier such as image, audio or video. Image steganography is extensively used technique. In this technique secret data is embedded within the image. Steganography techniques can be categorized into two groups - adaptive and non-adaptive. Each of these have its strengths and weaknesses. Adaptive steganography embeds the secret information in the image by adapting some of the local features of the image. Non-adaptive steganography embeds secret data equally in each and every pixel of the image. Several techniques have been proposed for hiding the

Abstract- The utilization of PC systems for information transmissions has made the need of security. The security of this intuitive media data should be possible with encryption or information concealing calculations. To diminish the transmission time, the information pressure is necessary. Since couple of years, an issue is to attempt to join pressure, encryption and information covering up in a solitary stride. Picture security turns out to be progressively critical for some applications, e.g., secret transmission, video reconnaissance, military and therapeutic applications. These days, the transmission of pictures is an every day routine and it is important to locate a proficient approach to transmit them over systems. They send Secret message over channel utilizing Cryptography and Steganography calculations by AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). It is utilized to scramble the information from plain content to figure content the other way around. There are two sorts of keys accessible in the cryptography, symmetric and asymmetric. There are utilizing symmetric key which is separated into two key, for example, private and open key. Open key is utilized for encryption and private key is utilized for decoding. The reversible information concealing method is utilized to recover the information and picture

The paper proposes data hiding with codeword substitution in encrypted H.264/AVC video streams. Here video is encrypted and data is hided in the video to maintain the security and privacy. In this way data hiding in encrypted domain without decryption preserves confidentiality of the content. By analyzing the property of H.264/AVC codec, the codeword of the intra-prediction modes, the code words of motion vector differences and code words of residual coefficients are encrypted with the stream ciphers. The data hider may embed additional data in the encrypted domain by using code word substitution technique, without knowing original content. Data extraction can be done in encrypted domain or in the decrypted domain.

Photo Authenticity – the true essence of photography remains realism even as artistry and creativity continues to stake its claim. The desire to capture inspiring, authentic images has never been lost. This is all thanks to the people’s sense of belonging and need to associate with the familiar. One way to prove authenticity through photo shoot is to capture images or portraits that depict emotions or bring out stories. It is unlikely that the desire to bring out authenticity will not be fazed by a few alterations and retouching using software photo editors, filters and cameras to bring out the very best in photography. With photo authenticity gaining root, real people will be cast in the same manner as models and artists. For example, authenticity in portrait photography will remain firmly entrenched in the skin, body and emotions.

1. In previous technique the data was hided in image due to which only less amount of data was made secure if the large amount of data is hided in the image then the image gets blur.

enhance a digital image without spoiling it. The enhancement methods can broadly be divided in to the following two categories [1]:

In today’s world when whole world become digitized there is need not only to store and transmit data but security is also main concern i.e. transmission of data with high security. In earlier time there ware attempts to hide a message in trusted media so as to deliver it across the enemy territory[1]. In the modern time of digital communication, several methods are used for hiding information in any medium. There are many method one of such technique is steganography[2] in which digital images are used as a medium for hiding secret message or information in the form of various format such as digital images, video or audio file text file. The main goal of steganography is to increase communication security by inserting secret message into the digital image by modifying the pixels of the image which are not very essential. Another most reliable method of information security is cryptography The steganography is differ from cryptography in the way that cryptography main aim is to keeping the contents of a information secret, while steganography main focuses on keeping the existence of a information secret. The science of protecting information which is mainly in the form of plain text, by transforming it (encrypting it) into an unreadable format, which is known as cipher text. Cryptography is the study of changing information from its normal, comprehensible format into an incomprehensible format, rendering it unreadable without secret knowing secret information and is mainly

Steganography is the practice of concealing a file, message, and important information of any format as text, image, audio or video within another file, message, of any format. Steganography is the art of hiding the information in some other host object and it has been used since ancient time by the people. In ancient time, secret information is hidden in the back of wax, scalp of the slaves, in rabbits etc. The word steganography used from the past combines the Greek words steganos, meaning "covered, concealed, or protected", and graphein meaning "writing" [1]

A multi-resolution watermarking method based on the discrete wavelet transform for copyright protection of digital images was presented by Zolghadrasli and S. Rezazadeh [21]. The watermark employed was a noise type Gaussian sequence. Watermark components were added to the significant coefficients of each selected sub band by considering the human visual system in order to embed the watermark robustly and imperceptibly. They enhanced the HVS model by performing some small modifications. The extraction of the watermark involved the host image. They measured the similarities of extracted watermarks using the Normalized Correlation Function. The robustness of their method against wide variety of attacks was illustrated.
