A method of transmission of highly confidential information in power communication network based on digital watermarking technology is proposed in order to reduce the leakage risk of power information and achieve the purpose of safe transmission of private information. This method establishes the data topology model of power communication network and connects the data receiving and sending terminals. Digital watermarking technology is used to embed digital watermarking in the information to be transmitted, encrypt the private information, and optimize the DES encryption algorithm to encrypt the information twice, so as to realize the safe transmission of information. The experimental results show that the digital watermark embedding rate, DES encryption rate, DES decryption rate and watermark extraction rate of the proposed method are all above 90 Mbps, and the file transfer time of 3965Byte is less than 5s, leakage risk rate and packet loss rate are 0.0001% and 0.006%, respectively, which effectively protects the security of high privacy information in the power communication network and prevents information leakage.
