TLDR
A watermarking procedure where each of a set of copies of the work has a slightly modified form of a "baseline" watermark that is placed within a critical region of the data is described in this paper.
Abstract
A watermarking procedure wherein each of a set of copies of the work has a slightly-modified form of a "baseline" watermark that is placed within a critical region of the data. The slight variations in the watermarks, however, are not perceptually visible and do not interfere with the work. If multiple persons collude to attempt to create an "illicit" copy of the work (i.e., a copy without a watermark), however, at least one of the modified watermarks is present in the copy, thereby identifying both the illicit copy and the copier.

Secure spread spectrum watermarking for multimedia

TL;DR: It is argued that insertion of a watermark under this regime makes the watermark robust to signal processing operations and common geometric transformations provided that the original image is available and that it can be successfully registered against the transformed watermarked image.

Information record infrastructure, system and method

TL;DR: In this paper, a business model for the creation, maintenance, transmission, and use of digital medical records is presented, which allows financial burdens to be reallocated optimally and equitably, resulting in decreased overall societal cost.

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.

Adaptive pattern recognition based control system and method

TL;DR: An adaptive interface for a programmable system, for predicting a desired user function, based on user history, as well as machine internal status and context, is presented for confirmation by the user, and the predictive mechanism is updated based on this feedback as mentioned in this paper.

Connected audio and other media objects

TL;DR: In this paper, a decoding process extracts the identifier from a media object and possibly additional context information and forwards it to a server, in turn, maps the identifier to an action, such as returning metadata, re-directing the request to one or more other servers, requesting information from another server to identify the media object, etc.

A digital watermark

TL;DR: The paper discusses the feasibility of coding an "undetectable" digital water mark on a standard 512/spl times/512 intensity image with an 8 bit gray scale, capable of carrying such information as authentication or authorisation codes, or a legend essential for image interpretation.

Techniques for data hiding

TL;DR: This work explores both traditional and novel techniques for addressing the data hiding process and evaluates these techniques in light of three applications: copyright protecting, tamper-proofing, and augmentation data embedding.

Electronic marking and identification techniques to discourage document copying

TL;DR: Three coding methods are proposed that discourage illicit distribution by embedding each document with a unique codeword, yet enable one to identify the sanctioned recipient of a document by examination of a recovered document.

Cryptology for digital TV broadcasting

TL;DR: The description of a conditional access system is given and it is shown that equitable systems need the use of a trusted third party.
