METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING AND AUTHENTICATING DATA SET BY USING WATER-MARK AND DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fulfill a requirement according to an intended use and to obtain as inconspicuous, safe and quick water-marking as possible by converting a water-marked edition by using an identified privacy encoding method and extracting a water-mark from the privacy coded water-marked edition of a source data set. SOLUTION: Privacy control 202 is added to source data 201. Thus, authentication can be attained, and simultaneously the privacy of the content of a data set can be protected. Then, water-marking algorithm is applied (203). Thus, privacy reinforced water-marked data 204 can be obtained. The water-mark is present in an image so that only the least significant bit of the image can be affected, and the maximum picture quality protection can be attained. An authenticated result 212 can be obtained from the privacy reinforced water- marked data 204.
