  • Patent number: 7212649
    Abstract: Disclosed is an encoder for forming electronic watermark information which allows detecting tampering of a digital content based on an electronic watermark embedded in the digital content, and limiting said tampered part. This encoder comprises means for dividing a subject digital content into multiple blocks, and means for independently forming the electronic watermark information in the individual blocks.
