A watermark is inserted in a cover image in Digital Image watermarking (DIWM), so that the resulting watermarked signal is resistant to any interference induced by either normal data processing in a friendly environment or malicious attacks in an unfriendly environment. Now watermarks are inserted in digital files such that rightful owners can claim control of their records to maintain authenticity. Nevertheless, these images (like fingerprints) are broadcast with greater volume over networks and the possibility for attacks during transmission is a significant concern. Recipients need a system that can validate their image validity. When the files are watermarked so authenticating the files is easy for the user. Nonetheless, deciding that the right image was originally received and transmitted without modification involves the use of data that the user would like not to send (i.e. the watermark itself or the original file).
