Abstract

To achieve a trade-off between robustness and security in the Watermarked Only Attack (WOA) framework, we propose a novel spread spectrum watermarking scheme called natural watermarking-normalized circular watermarking (NW-NCW). Our scheme builds on two spread spectrum watermarking schemes. One is natural watermarking (NW), and has an advantage in security; the other is a novel circular watermarking scheme called normalized circular watermarking (NCW), and has an advantage in robustness. We show that in most typical scenarios, NW-NCW is more suitable for the tradeoff between robustness and security than the existing secure watermarking schemes such as NW and CW-ISS (circular extension of ISS).
