INVISIBLE WATER MARKING WITHIN MEDIA FILES USING STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY

This paper facilitates the techniques to be used with the images that cannot be misused by unauthorized users. This method is to provide the security for images by using key concepts. The Invisible Watermarking concept is used for secret message and images to send one node to another node with a private key. A package is developed to attain the above said technology. This package is mainly applicable for a software company which focuses on how to secure the data from the hackers while transferring the information. It gives controlled redundancy, data independence, more accuracy and integrity, privacy and security and also a good performance.
