Abstract

Today, more and more data is available in digital form, ranging from normal text to multimedia data such as image or video data. Since some data is of high sensitivity or undergoes legal restrictions, it is important to obtain more reliable information about the data origin and its transformations, known as data provenance. Unfortunately, current approaches for data provenance neither support multimedia data nor provide mechanisms to ensure reliability of the provenance information. In this paper, we present an approach based on existing watermarking schemes evaluated by a database system. Hence, this approach ensures the reliability of multi media data (e.g., fingerprint data) and its corresponding provenance information. Furthermore, we show how this approach can be applied within a specific database, used for fingerprint verification.
