DWT-SVD based watermarking scheme of JPEG images using elliptic curve cryptography

The image watermarking technology is a vital facet about multimedia authentication and copyright protection to improve its reliability and security. This paper proposes an embedment of encrypted watermark in a JPEG image to address the issues of proprietorship of digital images. Amongst the cryptographic solutions, the most satisfactory cryptography method is Elliptic Curve Cryptography because of its small usage of bandwidth, low computational time and small key size. DWT and SVD are used as a scientific means to implant watermark in the image. The quality of watermarked image is measured by Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and to compare the recovered watermark and the original watermark Normalized correlation (NC) is used.
