Distortion-free Watermarking Scheme for Compressed Data in Columnar Database

Digital watermarking is an effective technique for protecting various databases against data copyright infringement, piracy, and data tampering in the columnar database. Increasing deployments of various database systems and their versatile applications have raised the need for better watermarking schemes that are tailored to the target database systems’ specific architecture. Most of the existing digital watermarking schemes do not take into consideration the side effects that watermarking might have on the database’s important characteristics such as data compression and overall performance. In this research, we propose a distortion-free fragile watermarking scheme for columnar database architecture without interfering its underlying data compression scheme and its overall performance. The proposed scheme is flexible and can be adapted to various distributions of data. We tested our proposed scheme on both synthetic and real-world data, and proved its
