Abstract

One of the problems in the digital world is the secure transmission of information through insecure communication channels which has been selected as the main concept discussed in this research. This article, by thoroughly analyzing the types of attacks in video watermarking, learns the basics used in the proposed method and offers a solution to deal with the most important categories. Therefore, it presents a secure solution against collusion attacks by introducing a three-dimensional discrete cosine transform algorithm. According to the evaluations, it can be claimed that the proposed solution is resistant to collusion attacks, which is the most important attack in the field of digital watermarking. Another strength of the proposed algorithm compared to other methods is its higher capacity in watermarking. The proposed algorithm, using its special blocking method, has the ability to cover all types of video, both dynamic and static. Various tests have been applied to the selected dataset to analyze the security and the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that if the proposed algorithm is used in watermarking, in addition to high accuracy, it can have an acceptable resistance to attacks.
