ABSTRACT

The possibility of adding several watermarks to the same image would enable many interesting applications such as multimedia document tracing, data usage monitoring, and multiple property management. In this paper, we present a novel watermarking scheme, which allows inserting and reliably detecting multiple watermarks sequentially embedded into a digital image.Steganography studies the encoding and the detection of secret message transmitted over digital communication platform. Steganography methods hide the presence of an arbitrary digital message by encoding it in to digital media. Digital watermarking mainly focuses on protection of intellectual property rights and authentication of digital media it is Similar to hide information of digital media it provide new way of ensuring the adequate protection of copyrights holders in intellectual property distribution process. Digital watermarking is a process for modifying physical or electronic media to embed a machine-readable code into the media. The media may be modified such that the embedded code is imperceptible or nearly imperceptible to the user, yet may be detected through an automated detection process. Most commonly, digital watermarking is applied to media signals such as images, audio signals, and video signals .The proposed method, based on elementary linear algebra, is asymmetric, secure under projection attack and robust against distortion due to basic operations such as storage, transmission, and format conversion. A digital watermark is a kind of marker covertly embedded in a noise-tolerant signal such as image data. It is typically used to identify ownership of the copyright of such signal. "Watermarking" is the process of hiding digital information in a carrier signal; the hidden information should, but does not need to contain a relation to the carrier signal. Digital watermarks may be used to verify the authenticity or integrity of the carrier signal or to show the identity of its owners
