Abstract

Copyright violation by the illegal copying of digital images is a serious problem because it is easy to duplicate digital data without deterioration. One proposal is to embed user-specific information in each image, but this is costly for the provider and prevents images from being distributed through economical media such as CD-ROMs. We propose a new distribution method that extends the image distribution scheme by using scrambling at the user side to embed user ID information; this permits images to be economically distributed.
