A new zero-watermarking algorithm for color image based on tensor mode expansion that is robust to noise attacks and common image processing attacks, and better performances compared with some existing algorithms are also achieved.Abstract:
Digital zero-watermarking technology is an effective measure to protect image copyright, and many algorithms have been proposed based on zero-watermark. However, most of the existing zero-watermarking algorithms are designed for grayscale images. In this paper, a new zero-watermarking algorithm for color image based on tensor mode expansion is proposed. In the proposed scheme, four images of R, G, B, and gray are firstly generated from the original image. Then, the four images are appropriately combined to construct two three-dimensional tensors, and tensor expansion is performed on the obtained tensors. By performing singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) on the expanded data, a feature image containing the main information of the host image can be generated. Finally, the feature image is fused with the specified logo image to obtain a zero-watermark image. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to noise attacks and common image processing attacks, and better performances compared with some existing algorithms are also achieved. In addition, since the proposed algorithm is based on color images, it can make full use of all aspects of color images.read more

Robust Image Encryption and Zero-watermarking Scheme Using SCA and Modified Logistic Map
Abstract: In this work, we first present a modified version of the traditional logistic chaotic map. The proposed version contains an additional parameter that is used to increase the security level of the proposed digital image copyright protection scheme. The latter merges two methods of image copyright protection, namely the image zero-watermarking and image encryption, which provides a high level of security when communicating images via the Internet. Next, we discuss the influence of geometric attacks on the efficiency of the proposed scheme, and then we introduce an efficient solution that can resist such attacks. The proposed solution involves the use of Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) with an appropriate algorithm suitable for the correction of geometric attacks (image translation, orientation and its combination) applied to the encrypted image. On the one hand, the simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides a high level of security and can resist various attacks (differential, common image processing, geometric, etc.). On the other hand, the conducted comparison in terms of robustness against geometric attacks clearly demonstrates the superiority of our scheme over recent image encryption ones.
