Sample text

In 2003, a work-in-progress copy of ‘‘The Hulk’’ appeared on P2P networks two weeks before its theatrical release [90]. This work print was not the final version. Many special effects were missing. Color adjustments were not finalized. 7 With forensic marking, if the content were ever to be discovered in the public domain, for instance, on P2P file sharing networks, the embedded identifier could be extracted to identify the infringer [46]. This application requires the following characteristics: • Fast Embedding: At the duplication stage, there is a need to make numerous individual copies of the same piece of content, each one carrying a different identifier.

Nevertheless, it is less resistant to hostile adversaries. Thus, it may face some problems regarding non-repudiability in court. The commercial value of multimedia content protected by forensic marking is extremely high, especially for so-called screeners used before the official release. Thus, these pieces of content are attractive targets for organized pirates. Fortunately, the trust model of forensic marking is relatively strong. It assumes that the average pirate has access neither to the embedder nor to the detector.

Nevertheless, changing the key will allow us to safely continue using the watermark technology [82]. 3 Digital Watermarking 33 Fig. 5 Watermarking content ‘‘identical’’ to the original one, even if it experienced slight alterations. , watermark detection should be robust to transmission noise (Fig. 5). • Embedding rate accounts for the amount of data that can be embedded in a unit of content. It is, for instance, expressed in bits per second or bits per frame for video. Useful information is often smaller than the number of embedded bits due to the use of Error Correcting Codes (ECC) such as Reed-Solomon [83].
