Multimedia Content Protection

In this paper, we provide a holistic survey of multimedia content protection applications in which blockchain technology is being used. A taxonomy is developed to classify these applications with reference to the technical aspects of blockchain technology, content protection techniques, namely, encryption, digital rights management, digital watermarking and fingerprinting (or transaction tracking), and performance criteria. The study of the literature reveals that there is currently no complete and systematic taxonomy dedicated to blockchain-based copyright protection applications. Moreover, the number of successfully developed blockchain-based content protection systems is very low. This points towards a research gap. To fill this gap, we propose a taxonomy that integrates technical aspects and application knowledge and can guide the researchers towards the development of blockchain-based multimedia copyright protection systems. Furthermore, the paper discusses some technical challenges and outlines future research directions.

Enhance Efficiency

Digital watermarking is a process in which a secondary pattern or signature, called a watermark, is hidden into a digital media (e.g., image and video) such that it can be detected or extracted later for different intentions. Digital watermarking has many applications including copyright protection, authentication, tamper detection, and embedding of electronic patient records in medical images. Various software implementations of digital watermarking algorithms can be built. While software implementations can address digital watermarking in off-line applications, they cannot meet the requirements of many applications. For example, in consumer electronic devices, a software solution would be very expensive. This has motivated the development of hardware implementations of digital watermarking. In this chapter, the authors present a detailed survey of existing hardware implementations of image and video watermarking algorithms. Fundamental design issues are discussed and special techniques exploited to enhance efficiency are identified. Future outlooks are also presented to address the challenges of hardware architecture design for image and video watermarking.

Nowadays, the use of digital content or digital media is increasing day by day. Therefore, there is a need to protect the digital document from both unauthorized users and authorized users. The digital document should be protected from authorized users who try to redistribute it illegally. Digital watermarking techniques along with cryptography are insufficient to ensure an adequate level of security of digital media. The security of the transferring digital data in the modern world is also a big challenge because there is a high risk of security breaches. In this article, a secure technique of image fusion using hybrid domains (spatial and frequency) for privacy preserving and copyright protection is proposed. The proposed method provides a secure technique for the digital content in cloud environment. Two cloud services are used to develop this work, which eliminates the role of a trusted third party (TTP). First is the design of an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to store different images with encryption processes to speed up the image fusion process and save storage space. Second, a Platform as a Service (PaaS) is used to enable the digital content to improve computation power and to increase the bandwidth. The prime objective of the proposed scheme is to transfer the digital media between a service provider and customer in a secure way using a hybrid domain along with cloud storage. Imperceptibility and robustness measures are used to calculate the performance of the proposed approach.

<abstract> <p>With the rapid development of computer technology and network communication technology, copyright protection caused by widely spread digital media has become the focus of attention in various fields. For digital media watermarking technology research emerge in endlessly, but the results are not ideal. In order to better realize the copyright identification and protection, based on the embedded intelligent edge computing detection technology, this paper studies the zero watermark copyright protection algorithm of digital media. Firstly, this paper designs an embedded intelligent edge detection module based on Sobel operator, including image line buffer module, convolution calculation module and threshold processing module. Then, based on the embedded intelligent edge detection module, the Arnold transform of image scrambling technology is used to preprocess the watermark, and finally a zero watermark copyright protection algorithm is constructed. At the same time, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is tested. The image is subjected to different proportion of clipping and scaling attacks, different types of noise, sharpening and blur attacks, and the detection rate and signal-to-noise ratio of each algorithm are calculated respectively. The performance of the watermark image processed by this algorithm is evaluated subjectively and objectively. Experimental data show that the detection rate of our algorithm is the highest, which is 0.89. In scaling attack, the performance of our algorithm is slightly lower than that of Fourier transform domain algorithm, but it is better than the other two algorithms. The Signal to Noise Ratio of the algorithm is 36.854% in P6 multiplicative noise attack, 39.638% in P8 sharpening edge attack and 41.285% in fuzzy attack. This shows that the algorithm is robust to conventional attacks. The subjective evaluation of 33% and 39% of the images is 5 and 4. The mean values of signal to noise ratio, peak signal to noise ratio, mean square error and mean absolute difference are 20.56, 25.13, 37.03 and 27.64, respectively. This shows that the watermark image processed by this algorithm has high quality. Therefore, the digital media zero watermark copyright protection algorithm based on embedded intelligent edge computing detection is more robust, and its watermark invisibility is also very superior, which is worth promoting.</p> </abstract>

Digital Copyright Protection

With the recent development in network technology over a few years, digital works can be easily published online. One of the main issues in the field of digital technology is the infringement of digital works, which can seriously damage the data owners’ rights and affects the enthusiasm of the owners to create original work. Thus, more attention is required for the protection of digital copyright as it has a great impact on the development of society. Many digital copyright protection techniques were developed in the past, but still, there are many loopholes in the protection systems to be covered. The protection means are still relatively weak, timeliness is poor, infringement is frequent, a right determination is cumbersome, and the results are not ideal. Aiming at the mentioned problems, this paper proposes a protection technique, which can realize the automatic management of the complete digital rights life cycle on the blockchain using fabric's smart contract technology. The proposed system is based on blockchain technology, which leverages the distributed, tamper-proof and traceable characteristics of blockchain. The system uses smart contracts to manage the full life cycle of digital copyright. The test results show that the proposed system provides effective protection of the digital copyright system and can efficiently confirm the rights of digital copyright.

The availability of versatile multimedia processing software and the far-reaching coverage of the interconnected networks have facilitated flawless copying and manipulations of digital media. The ever-advancing storage and retrieval technologies also have smoothed the way for large-scale multimedia database applications. However, abuses of these facilities and technologies pose pressing threats to multimedia security management in general, and multimedia copyright protection and content integrity verification in particular. Although cryptography has a long history of application to information and multimedia security, the undesirable characteristic of providing no protection to the media once decrypted has limited the feasibility of its widespread use. For example, an adversary can obtain the decryption key by purchasing a legal copy of the media but then redistributing the decrypted copies of the original.
