(1) can be proved: digital watermark should be able to provide complete and reliable evidence to the ownership of protected information products. Digital watermark can identify the embedded relevant information (such as number of registered users, product logo or meaningful text, etc.) of the owners, and can extract the information when required. digital watermark can distinguish whether the objects are protected and be able to monitor the protected data’s transmission, the authority and control of illegal copies. In fact this is the fundamental driving force developing digital watermark technology, our watermark software just directly designed for this purpose.
(2) can not be resumed: For a large number of digital pictures that digital watermark techniques have dealt with, the digital watermarking on these pictures can not removed by any methods. The information products’ original appearance can not be restored. For example, if you digital watermarked a picture, then the logo on it can not be removed.
(3) permanence: The permanence problem is extremely important in terms of digital watermark. In short, it refers to digital watermark should bear a large number of different physical and geometric distortion, including the intentional (such as malicious attacks) or unintentionally (such as image compression, scanning and copying, noise pollution, changes in size and so on) . After these operations, the digital watermark still can be identified clearly. Digital images will be effectively protected, even if when there is the physical distortion, it still able to provide enough evidence of copyright.
