Abstract: Digital watermarking was commenced to copyright protection and ownership verification of multimedia data. However the evolution of the watermark focused on different security aspects of multimedia data such as integrity and authenticity. Fragile and semi-fragile watermarking schemes were introduced to accomplish these requirements. In this paper, we propose semi-fragile watermarking scheme to authenticate visual content of the image. The proposed method occupies in DCT domain of the particular image. Low frequency components are considered as a visual content and authenticate particular number of low frequency components instead all coefficients. In this proposed scheme the watermark is the digital signature of the visual content. Authenticating the selected number of coefficient the proposed scheme reduces the computational complexity and cost. Digital signature is generated following the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA). Thus, the scheme is fast!
er than RSA based authentication definition and it provides high level of security and availability. Additionally our scheme localizes the compromised area of the image. Experimental results shows watermark does not make any visual artifact on original data, however the degradation of compression ratio due to alternation in quantization table, is evaluated. Results give evidence that compression ratio degradation is ignorable for average quality factors.
