Abstract

With the pervasiveness of internet, businesses online have become ubiquitous. The proposed concept is a solution with a specific focus on preventing disputes that comes out of ownership claims through buying and selling digital documents. The concept proposed offers a dependable watermarking method that can help authenticate sellers and buyers of digital documents. The important issues of copyright protection such as buyer-owner identification, copyright infringement, and ownership verification are addressed. Embedding the owners' and buyers' identities through watermarks and provisions for revealing the same as proof to substantiate the ownership rights of buyer over the digital document, will serve as a solution for issues arising out of buyer owner identification. To solve copyright infringement issues, the concept offers necessities that can help the owner to identify the buyer, from whom the illegal copies of the documents originated. The provisions to identify the legal owner of the digital document, can settle controversies regarding multiple ownership claims in the court of law. The usage of DCT-SVD based watermarking and public key encryption with hash values fortifies the scheme and makes it a fail-safe method.
