Abstract
Watermarking is the process of embedding secret data to prove ownership copyright authentication validation. It is becoming urgently required within e-videos to provide proper permission confirmation. The problem raised in this research video watermarking to be addressed is to help providing ownership proof whenever slight tampering occurs on the video multimedia intentionally or unintentionally. Normally, any breach to e-video makes the watermarking hidden data injured, causing difficulty in accepting its copyright evidence. Therefore, this paper proposes utilizing counting-based secret sharing strategy to allow watermarking validation of ownership even if some fragments of the multimedia video-file is interfered. The study modeled the system and implemented it to be tested to explore the relation between security and authenticity in relation to data dependency, as in order to provide fractional authentication. It is giving the user full authority in accepting the incomplete video watermarking proof in a percentage-based analysis. The proposed work validity has been tested via many experimentations covered embedding watermarking data within 15 different size e-videos using different embedding LSB models showing interesting variational remarks. The analysis also involved standard media images for demonstrating the watermarking methods validity research providing enhancement effects to capacity (authentication) vs. security (ambiguity), as enforced unavoidable interesting tradeoff. The work uniqueness is presented in showing different multi-measures allowing the application decision maker to have full power to choose from. The research proved applicability to be adopting specific LSB approach as to give acceptable watermarking security enjoying the highest authentication with acceptable security. This watermarking adoption of counting-based secret sharing displayed interesting features, although the work is still in its early stage, providing promising investigations opportunities for innovative attractive progress coming.
