“…The unbinding problem has been concerned and a number of subsequent watermark protocols work on it which includes [5,7]. But, these protocols are affected by the double watermark insertion problem [3]. Double watermark insertion as an accepted and suitable solution for solving the unbinding problem.…”

“…However, a limited capacity including hiding information of digital content needs to be considered. On the other hand, a single watermark insertion not only provide a robust and secure outcome, but also allow to insert long bit string codes that is particularly helpful to reach anti-collusion target [3,6,9] Compared with the above solutions, this paper also avoids conspiracy attack and protects different entities copyright by applying different encrypt algorithms. Furthermore, there are two specific functions are used to generate two binary codes which are then combined to produce a single watermark.…”

“…The traditional centralized DRM system might apply a central data server as a data repository to store and manage digital content. In the classic "buyer-seller" two-party watermark protocol, the fully trust-third party or semi-trust-third party as a favorite architecture has attracted by different researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The third parties involved in the protocols in the real world have to be concerned as "untrusted" since they could collude with the other parties, thus impairing security [9].…”

Background: With the development and innovation of digital information technologies and new-generation Internet information platforms, new types of information exchange methods have been spawned. It has broken the restriction of the traditional internet boundary, and integrated all round connections between people and objects. Methods: Based on the above progresses, digital multimedia contents distributed or published much more convenient on the internet than before and most of them without any copyright protection. The dishonest owner can easily copy and distribute the digital multimedia content without reducing any perceptual quality. According to the relative concerns, watermark protocol networks play a very important role on usage tracking and copyrights infringement authentication etc. However, most of the watermark protocols always require a “fully trusted third party”, which has a potential risk to suffer conspiracy attack. Results: Therefore, in this paper, we focus on designing a watermark protocol with trustless third party via blockchain for protecting copyrights of owners that they want to publish or distribute on the internet. The proposed watermark protocol includes three sub-protocols which covers the negotiation process, transaction process and identification processes. Conclusion: In addition, this paper also provides a fully detail analysis that describes the benefits and weaknesses of current solution.

“…The first solution on single watermark insertion schemes is introduced in [33]. This protocol solves the major and most common problems documented in the literature, it does not require the buyer to have any knowledge of cryptography and watermarking, and it avoids the double watermark problem by adopting a single-watermark approach, and is not limited to linear watermarking schemes.…”

In the digital right management value chain, digital watermarking technology plays a very important role in digital product's security, especially on its usage tracking and copyrights infringement authentication. However, watermark procedures can only effectively support copyright protection processes if they are applied as part of an appropriate watermark protocol. In this regard, a number of watermark protocols have been proposed in the literature and have been shown to facilitate the use of digital watermarking technology as copyright protection. One example of such protocols is the anonymous buyer-seller watermarking protocol. Although there are a number of protocols that have been proposed in the literature and provide suitable solutions, they are mainly designed as a watermarking protocol for the first-hand market and are unsuitable for second-hand transactions. As the complexity of online transaction increases, so does the size of the digital second-hand market. In this paper, we present a new buyer-seller watermark protocol that addresses the needs of customer's rights problem in the digital secondary market. The proposed protocol consists of five sub-protocols that cover the registration process, watermarking process for the first, second and third-hand transactions as well as the identification & arbitration processes. This paper provides analysis that compares the proposed protocols with existing state-of-the-arts and shows that it has met not only all the buyer's and seller's requirements in the traditional sense but also accommodates the same requirements in the secondary market.

“…The former wishes to get content from a web content provider, whereas the latter wishes to release it in a digitally protected form obtained by inserting a watermark. In particular, the early experiences also involve specific trusted third parties (TTPs), called "watermark certification authorities" (WCAs), whose main function is to guarantee the correct execution of the protocols [4,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, the introduction of WCAs can reduce the security level of the protocols, since TTPs can give rise to potential collusive behaviors with buyers or sellers [2,16].…”

Digital watermarking can be used to implement mechanisms aimed at protecting the copyright of digital content distributed on the Internet. Such mechanisms support copyright identification and content tracking by enabling content providers to embed perceptually invisible watermarks into the distributed copies of content. They are employed in conjunction with watermarking protocols, which define the schemes of the web transactions by which buyers can securely purchase protected digital content distributed by content providers. In this regard, the “buyer friendly” and “mediated” watermarking protocols can ensure both a correct content protection and an easy participation of buyers in the transactions by which to purchase the distributed content. They represent a valid alternative to the classic “buyer and seller” watermarking protocols documented in the literature. However, their protection schemes could be further improved and simplified. This paper presents a new watermarking protocol able to combine the “buyer friendly” and “mediated” design approach with the blockchain technology. The result is a secure protocol that can support a limited and balanced participation of both buyers and content providers in the purchase transactions of protected digital content. Moreover, the protocol can avoid the direct involvement of trusted third parties in the purchase transactions. This can reduce the actual risk that buyers or sellers can violate the protocol by illicitly interacting with trusted third parties. In fact, such peculiarities make the proposed protocol suited for the current web context.
