  • Publication number: 20150139480
    Abstract: A cross-correlation based system for watermarking continuous digital media, includes: a) means for retrieving at least one signature parameter (Sj) determined according to a corresponding previous signature (Sj?1) or a predefined initial signature (S0); the S0 being selectable by a user command to a multiplexor that selects either S0 or Sj during the course of generating a signature; and, b) means for encrypting the present signature according to the at least one signature parameter (Sj) to generate a unique digital signature (Ej).

  • Patent number: 8867781
    Abstract: A two level cross-correlation based system for watermarking continuous digital media at the system application level. It is a post-compression process for watermarking where no a priori knowledge of the underlying compression algorithm is required. Per each compressed media frame, a current unique digital signature is generated based on the data from the current compressed frame plus the digital signature that has been previously generated. The signature thus generated is then used in conjunction with the next compressed frame to generate the next unique digital signature. All digital signatures are correlated according to the above process until a “reset” signal is issued. A new chain of correlated digital signatures is produced by the system with a predetermined initial signature.
