Abstract

Authenticating the veracity and integrity of digital media content is the most important application of fragile watermarking technique. Recently, fragile watermarking schemes for digital audio signals are developed to not only detect the malicious falsification, but also recover the tampered audio content. However, they are fragile against synchronization counterfeiting attack, which greatly narrows the applicability of audio watermarking schemes. In this paper, a novel source coding scheme for authenticating audio signal based on set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) encoding and chaotic dynamical system with capability of self-recovery and anti-synchronization counterfeiting attack is proposed. For self-recovery feature, the compressed version of audio signal generated by SPIHT source coding and protected against maliciously tampering by repeated coding is embedded into the original audio signal. Besides, for robustness against synchronization counterfeiting attack feature, based on the position and content of audio section, check bits are generated by Hash algorithm and chaotic sequence, and taken as part of fragile watermark. Simulation results show the self-embedding audio authentication scheme is recoverable with proper audio quality, and it has capability against synchronization counterfeiting attack.
