Toward a Novel LSB-based Collusion-Secure Fingerprinting Schema for 3D Video
Abstract
Securing multimedia content and preventing it from being maliciously manipulated has developed at a rapid pace, and researchers have been studying the traitor tracing as an appropriate solution. This approach consists in retrieving back the actors who contributed to the construction of an illegal release of a multimedia product. It includes two major steps which are the fingerprinting step and the tracing one. The fingerprinting step relies on the watermarking technique whereas the efficiency of the tracing scheme depends on several requirements: the robustness of the watermarking technique, the type of the media content, and even the computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a new collusion-secure fingerprinting scheme for 3D videos. It has essentially a twofold purpose: at a first step, we propose to embed the watermark in the video copy by applying a standard Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution to all the frames of both the 2D video and the depth map components in order to ensure simultaneously and independently the protection of these two parts. In the second step, we apply the tracing process whose target is the identification of eventual colluders by extracting the hidden identifier from the suspicious video and analyse it. Experimental assessments show that the proposed scheme provides interesting results in terms of speed and tracing accuracy constraints.
