Abstract

In this paper, a public-key scheme is proposed to authenticate 3D mesh models. It is well known that digital signature schemes can be used for data authentication by generating a separate signature and appending it to the file. Another way is divide the original data into two parts: the content to be authenticated and the cover content. In the embedding process, the signature of the first part is generated and imperceptibly embedded within the cover content to form the signed content. In the authentication process, a new hash value is produced from the signed content and compared with the value decrypted from the retrieved signature for tamper detection. Before we implement such a scheme on polygonal meshes, mesh partitioning technique is used to divide them into patches with a fixed amount of vertices. For each patch, a corresponding signature is generated to replace the least significant bits of vertex coordinates within it so that the tamper can be localized. The experimental results have shown the promising results.
