About the Book
As cloud-based platforms become more necessary for digital content, ensuring the protection of intellectual property has also become a necessity for organizations. Digital watermarking has emerged as a vital technique for embedding copyright information in media content and offers a robust layer of security. The advancements in digital watermarking for copyright protection within cloud infrastructures better safeguard digital assets in a highly connected world. Digital Watermarking in Cloud Environments For Copyright Protection delves into digital image watermarking techniques, exploring their various classifications, including robust, fragile, blind, and non-blind watermarking. It highlights the importance of securing sensitive data in the ciphertext domain to prevent data theft during transmission. Covering topics such as adaptive watermarking algorithms, copyright vulnerability, and quantum cryptography, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, practitioners, managers, and more.
