Watermarking for Images using Alphanumeric Technique

Abstract

In the current daily routine the sharing of digital content is increasing in large scale through social media. Every individual is sharing his/her activities like photos, message, etc. through social media (i.e. WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to other persons without authentication of all these data and through this general activity of people some people are doing fraud to them or misuse of these data or illegally showing to other people without his concern. To ensure the authentication of digital contents this paper proposes methodology to prove the ownership by Digital watermarking and Intellectual Property Right (IPR). This paper explains the concepts of IPR and proposed alphanumeric watermarking technique for authentication of images and its protection from the fraud or misuse. Digital Watermarking has become one of the research areas in many fields from more than decades. This paper gives the methodology of embedding and extraction techniques for images to prove the authentication of images when required its demand. The result of this proposed technique is shown very helpful to society at a globe.
