TLDR
In this article, the principle of quasi-rotational symmetry is employed to facilitate detection of the embedded signal notwithstanding rotation of the encoded signal, and the digital signal is transformed to a frequency domain and phase-only filtered prior to its combination with the input source signal.Abstract:
A digital signal is imperceptibly embedded into an input source signal, such as an image or video signal, to produce an encoded (sometimes termed "watermarked") signal. The principle of quasi-rotational symmetry is employed to facilitate detection of the embedded signal notwithstanding rotation of the encoded signal. Single or multiple degrees of symmetry can be employed. In another aspect, the digital signal is transformed to a frequency domain and phase-only filtered prior to its combination with the input source signal. In an illustrative embodiment, this filtering operation helps hide the digital signal within the source signal, and facilitates detection of the embedded digital signal even after the encoded signal has undergone various forms of corruption.read more

Systems and Methods for Secure Transaction Management and Electronic Rights Protection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a secure content distribution method for a configurable general-purpose electronic commercial transaction/distribution control system, which includes a process for encapsulating digital information in one or more digital containers, a process of encrypting at least a portion of digital information, a protocol for associating at least partially secure control information for managing interactions with encrypted digital information and/or digital container, and a process that delivering one or multiple digital containers to a digital information user.

System for controlling the distribution and use of digital works
TL;DR: In this article, a system for controlling use and distribution of digital works, in which the owner of a digital work attaches usage rights to that work, is presented, where each right has associated with it certain optional specifications which outline the conditions and fees upon which the right may be exercised.
Patent
System and method for secure three-party communications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system and method for communicating information between a first party and a second party, comprising the steps of receiving, by an intermediary, an identifier of desired information and accounting information for a transaction involving the information from the first party, and negotiating, by the intermediary, a comprehension function for obscuring at least a portion of the information communicated between the first parties and the second parties.

Automated transaction system with modular printhead having print authentication feature
TL;DR: In this article, an automated transaction system employs a terminal for printing a value indicia, such as a postmark, on an article, which contains a modular printer unit which has a printhead and a dedicated microprocessor physically permanently bonded together such that the printhead microprocessor cannot be physically tampered with without disabling the print head.
