Abstract

Applications that involve watermarking schemes are typically composed of both watermarks and cryptographic primitives. The entire application is required to meet specific application-dependant security properties, which critically depend on both the properties of the watermarking scheme and the security of cryptographic primitives. Although the design of secure cryptographic protocols is more or less well-understood, the combination of watermarks and cryptographic primitives poses new problems. This paper reviews some of the fallacies and pitfalls that occur during the design of secure watermarking applications, and provides some practical guidelines for secure watermarking protocols.
