title: A dual Fourier-wavelet domain authentication-identification watermark.
abstract: A dual Fourier-Wavelet domain watermarking technique for authentication and identity verification is proposed. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain spread spectrum is used for embedding identity (such as registration number, transaction ID etc.) information. While a blind detector detects an ID, it is important to validate with other ancillary data. To satisfy that requirement, we embed a robust signature and hide it in a mid-band wavelet subband using Fourier domain bit-embedding algorithm. Results are furnished to show the compression tolerance of the method.
