Robustness Attacks on Video Watermarking Using Singular Value Decomposition

Abstract

In the current digital age, where people are commonly connected within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of People (IoP) environments, videos are easily shared on social media and mobile messaging Apps, so there is a need to determine the ownership of these videos so that they are not illegally distributed without acknowledging the source. Robust video watermarking schemes are commonly applied to solve these copyright ownership problems. These types of robust schemes need to withstand modification attacks attempted on the watermark embedded within the videos. In this paper, we focus on two recent watermarking schemes and analyse their robustness. We present attacks that enable malicious buyers to modify the watermarks embedded by the owner.
