Abstract
Watermarking technologies have received a considerable attention from both the academic and the industrial worlds lately. The first very large scale deployment of a intellectual property protection system relying on watermarking might be led by the Secure Digital Music Initiative consortium (SDMI). On September 6th 2000, the Executive Director of the SDMI group published an “open letter to the digital community” [otSg], where he invited hackers to try to break the technologies developed by several members of the SDMI group. In this paper, we present the detailed analysis of one of the proposed watermarking schemes, and explain how to defeat it.
