Chapter 1: Introduction to information hiding (Fabien A. P. Petitcolas)
gives an introduction to the field of information hiding, thereby discussing
the history of steganography and watermarking and possible applications
to modern communication systems.
Chapter 2: Principles of steganography (Stefan Katzenbeisser)
introduces a model for steganographic communication (the ‘prisoners problem")
and discusses various steganographic protocols (such as pure steganography,
secret key steganography, public key steganography and supraliminal channels).
Chapter 3: A survey of steganographic techniques (Neil F. Johnson
and Stefan Katzenbeisser) discusses several information hiding methods
useable for steganographic communication, among them substitution systems,
hiding methods in two-colour images, transform domain techniques, statistical
steganography, distortion and cover generation techniques.
Chapter 4: Steganalysis (Neil F. Johnson) introduces the concepts
of steganalysis – the task of detecting and possibly removing steganographic
information. Included is also an analysis of common steganographic tools.
Chapter 5: Introduction to watermarking techniques (Martin Kutter
and Frank Hartung) introduces the requirements and design issues for watermarking
software. The authors also present possible applications for watermarks
and discuss methods for evaluating watermarking systems.
Chapter 6: A survey of current watermarking techniques (Jean-Luc
Dugelay and Stéphane Roche) presents several design principles for
watermarking systems, among them the choice of host locations, psychovisual
aspects, the choice of a workspace (DFT, DCT, wavelet), the format of the
watermark bits (spread spectrum, low-frequency watermark design), the watermark
insertion operator and optimizations of the watermark receiver.
Chapter 7: Robustness of copyright marking systems (Scott Craver,
Adrian Perrig and Fabien A. P. Petitcolas) discusses the crucial issue
of watermark robustness to intentional attacks. The chapter includes a
taxonomy of possible attacks against watermarking systems, among them protocol
attacks like inversion, oracle attacks, limitations of WWW spiders and
system architecture issues.
Chapter 8: Fingerprinting (Jong-Hyeon Lee) discusses principles
and applications of fingerprinting to the traitor tracing problem, among
them statistical fingerprinting, asymmetric fingerprinting and anonymous
fingerprinting.
Chapter 9: Copyright on the Internet and watermarking (Stanley
Lai and Fabrizio Marongiu Buonaiuti) finally discusses watermarking systems
from a legal point of view and addresses various other aspects of copyright
law on the Internet.
