“…In recent years, distortion-free database watermarking has been received much attention from researchers. Some pioneer works have been done by incorporating abstract interpretation framework to characterize the approximation of the semantics inside the table [9]- [11], [20]. In this case, the partitioning can be seen as a virtual grouping.…”

“…From the other viewpoint, most of the previous studies rely on adding the watermark with some distortion to the database and little of them assign the watermark with distortion free. It was observed that most previous studies that used the distortion-free' characteristics to add a watermark are based on (1) Abstract interpretation framework as a theory of the approximation of the semantics in such a way that semantic meaning of data is preserved [9]- [11]; (2) Permutation -based framework that performs the exchange of tuples' positions based on linear permutation un-ranking algorithm to increase the embedding capacity [1], [12], [13]. (3) Fake (virtual) attribute adding framework that inserts a new column that is not real to the relation as a watermark; or by adding only one hidden tuple with a secret function where its values are known only by the data owner [14]- [19].…”

With the development of the Internet and wide applications of databases, the database providers are worried about their ownership of the databases. Database watermarking is an efficient method for database security, without affecting the usability of the data. Initially, most of the research effort in this field was depending on distortion based watermark, by introducing small changes in the underlying data of the database during embedding phase, while the few remaining studies concentrated on distortion-free. But there are many disadvantages in previous studies in distortion-free watermarking area; most notably some rely on adding watermark as an extra attributes or tuples which increase the size of the database. Hence, the ability to destroy the watermark by the attacker is enlarged because the watermark was added inside the database itself. Other techniques such as permutation and abstract interpretation framework require much effort to verify the watermark. The idea of this research is to apply the distortion free one hundred percent by adding the watermark as fake tuples in a separate file not within the database. The proposed system utilizes the GA, which boils down its role to create the values of the fake tuples which formed the watermark to be the closest to real values. So that it's very hard to any attacker to guess the watermark. The proposed watermark achieves more imperceptibility and security. Experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm is feasible, effective and robust against all kinds of attacks.

“…In the literature, most of the research works in relational database watermarking focused on the following three main applications regardless of the database attributes type (numeric, nonnumeric, or mix format): database ownership protection, content authentication, and fingerprinting. Usually, the ownership protection and the fingerprinting techniques [1][2][3][4] can be considered as part of robust watermarking approach, whereas the authentication or integrity checking [5][6][7] is based on the fragile watermarking technique. Whether a watermarking scheme is fragile or robust, it may suffer from intentional or unintentional attacks which may destroy the watermark [8].…”

Nowadays, internet is becoming a suitable way of accessing the databases. Such data are exposed to various types of attack with the aim to confuse the ownership proofing or the content protection. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on fragile zero watermarking for the authentication of numeric relational data. Contrary to some previous databases watermarking techniques which cause some distortions in the original database and may not preserve the data usability constraints, our approach simply seeks to generate the watermark from the original database. First, the adopted method partitions the database relation into independent square matrix groups. Then, group-based watermarks are securely generated and registered in a trusted third party. The integrity verification is performed by computing the determinant and the diagonal’s minor for each group. As a result, tampering can be localized up to attribute group level. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique is resilient against tuples insertion, tuples deletion, and attributes values modification attacks. Furthermore, comparison with recent related effort shows that our scheme performs better in detecting multifaceted attacks.
