“…Moreover, the leakage of confidential information may not only be through computers/networks but also through printing documents. Yamada et al thought that we could control confidential printings with a watermark [14]. Therefore, a watermark is a possible countermeasure to protect confidential printings.…”

In the information era, information security monitoring tools would be helpful for enterprises/organizations to monitor employees’ computer usage behaviors and improve their information security protection. The Windows-based operating systems have the largest market share in the world. Therefore, the study target is the development of a Windows-based information security monitoring tool in this study. We proposed an assessment model for developing an information security tool in this study to explore the significances of functionalities in a Windows-based information security monitoring tool and the decision-makers’ decision opinions. We adopted four steps with four study methods: the literature study method, the Delphi method, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, and the analysis methods related to data-driven decision-making in the proposed model. In Step 1, we studied some literature about information security monitoring, and we discovered 26 functionalities as the decision criteria in this study. In Step 2, using the Delphi method, we confirmed the decision criterion set with potential decision-makers and organized the decision criteria hierarchy. In Step 3, we designed an AHP questionnaire to get the criterion weight vectors from the 12 decision-makers. With the AHP method, this study received the weights of the decision criteria and found that the 16 functionalities among the 26 functionalities should receive their corresponding developing priority in a Windows-based information security monitoring tool. Finally, we used the Pearson correlation coefficient and cosine distance to explore the correlations and similarities among the decision-makers’ decision opinions. This study found the relevance among the decision-makers’ decision opinions in a Windows-based information security monitoring tool developed with the Pearson correlation coefficients/the cosine distances among all pairs of decision-makers’ decision opinions.

“…Many algorithms have been developed for general-purpose image watermarking in both the pixel and frequency domains [3,4]. Several conventional methods create watermarks with robustness against image processing during printing and scanning [5,6]. That is, if an image watermarked using such methods is printed, the watermarks can be detected in a scanned image of the print.…”

A method has been developed for detecting watermarks using a smartphone. A smartphone with a reader application based on this method and held over a watermarked printed image can detect a watermark in the image and use it to obtain corresponding product information. To reduce the computational complexity of a full search for each possible geometrical correction of the image, the locations where watermarks are not embedded are determined in advance. Image quality is maintained by not embedding watermarks for calibration purposes. System testing demonstrated that the developed method is practical to some degree under the constraint that the camera must be positioned within a restricted search range with respect to the printed image.

“…A method for embedding watermarks in binary comic images has developed for an application that images are distributed to mobile phones [6]. We previously developed a method for embedding watermarks in binary images so that print documents with watermarks could be traced [7]. New types of applications, such as electronic readers, have increased the need for new approaches to watermarking.…”

Digital watermarking of comic images effectively protects the copyright of the content in electronic book applications. The characteristics of comic images were analyzed to determine the effect of digital watermarking on the line shapes. Modification of the shape edges by conventional watermarking methods can degrade image quality because the human eye is sensitive to the edges. The analysis revealed that slight changes in the black pixels in a comic image are barely perceived by the human eye when the image is displayed on a tablet PC. A method was then developed for embedding watermarks that minimizes modification of the white pixels compared to modification of the black ones. Experimental evaluation showed that this method improves the quality of watermarked grayscale comic images. Watermark robustness was almost the same as that with the conventional method in an assumed use case.
