A method and apparatus for encoding identification information into a stream of digital data representing an object. The digital data representing an object is modified to add embedded identification information into the data. This modification is done such that the resultant changes to the object are not objectionable to the user. By comparing the original digital data to the modified data, the possessor of the original data can recover the embedded identification information. However the identification information is effectively unavailable to anyone not possessing the original data.
