title = "Security evaluation of generalized patchwork algorithm, from cryptanalytic viewpoint",
abstract = "In this paper we present a cryptanalysis of the generalized patchwork algorithm under the assumption that the attacker possesses only a single copy of the watermarked image. In the scheme, watermark is inserted by modifying randomly chosen DCT values in each block of the original image. Towards the attack we first fit low degree polynomials (which minimize the mean square error) on the data available from each block of the watermarked content. Then we replace the corresponding DCT data of the attacked image by the available data from the polynomials to construct an attacked image. The technique nullifies the modification achieved during watermark embedding. Experimental results show that recovery of the watermark becomes difficult after the attack.",
