“…There is no need for two parties to communicate with each other in NIZKP, except sending one data set from the prover to the verifier. [21][22][23] It can also be adapted to a required security level so that the greater the number of different challenges, the higher the security level of the verifier. 24 The efficiency of non-interactive is encouraging owning to no interaction with the verifier.…”

Except the network attacks, the industrial networked devices in Internet of things are also threatened by intellectual property infringement. Watermarking technique is a prevalent way to avoid this threat. Previous work on authenticating a watermark in industrial intellectual properties easily discloses sensitive information of real embedded watermarks. In this case, the evidence of identifying the ownership of industrial intellectual property may be attacked by the illegal verifiers. Although several watermark detection techniques can address the disclosure of sensitive information in detection procedure, the efficiency of detection is relatively low. Besides, it may yield large communication overhead of multiple authentication rounds. Motivated by the needs of robustness and efficiency, this work proposed a zero-knowledge approach to authenticate ownership of field-programmable gate array intellectual property design in industrial environment, named NIWAS. The prover can convince the verifier that he knows a secret in the suspected intellectual property design via only one interaction. Real locations of watermarks are concealed through location obfuscation. With the received authentication package from the prover, the verifier cannot obtain other useful information about the watermarks. The experiments show that NIWAS achieves high efficiency and robustness of watermark detection.

“…They used the cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator and required that the watermarks are all generated from the generator with the same seed but with different indices associated with different works. However, similarly to Yu and Lu's method [12], their security is not sufficient to prevent ambiguity attacks, because there is not a great correlation between the secret sequence (watermark) and the original image. We also found that the ZKWD protocols presented so far are not established based on a robust watermarking scheme.…”

Digital watermarking technology plays an important role in the areas of copyright protection and identity tracing for owners of digital mediums. At present, the security of the watermarking scheme is facing a great threat. The security of a digital watermarking scheme must not depend on the scheme being kept secret. Zero knowledge-based watermark detection scheme (ZKWD) can achieve this aim. For ZKWD scheme, an owner can provide prove to a verifier that a digital medium in question indeed contains the owner's watermark information without revealing any secret key and watermark-related information. However, the existing ZKWD protocols are still facing some challenging problems, such as ambiguity attacks. In this paper, a public ZKWD protocol is proposed for plain text, and the homomorphic property of asymmetric encryption algorithm in the multiplication operation is used to prevent the owner from cheating by ambiguity attacks. Compared with existing methods, the security of our proposed ZKWD scheme is improved by using the improved feature extraction algorithm.

“…Recently, Adelsbach et al [3] and Craver [9] proposed the use of zeroknowledge proofs in watermarking. Yu and Lu proposed a similar method based on a specially designed robust watermarking scheme [23]. In most cases, we can consider the watermark as the secret, and the property to be proved is the existence of the watermark.…”

“…It was pointed out in [2,1] that a watermarking scheme cannot be noninvertible if the false alarm is high. Yu and Lu claimed that their proposed zero-knowledge watermark detector [23] is resistant to ambiguity attacks by incorporating a one-way function based on the difficulty in finding Hamiltonian cycles in graphs. However, it seems that their security proof is not sufficient, since the difficulty of inverting the one-way function does not imply the resistance against ambiguity attacks.…”

A zero-knowledge watermark detector allows an owner to prove to a verifier that an image in question indeed contains the owner's watermark without revealing much information about the actual watermark. In such a scenario, the owner publishes a committed watermark before watermark detection so as to show that she knows the watermark before the detection. However, this does not imply that the owner can prove that she knows the watermark before the work appeared in the public. One well known counter example is the invertibility/ambiguity attacks where an adversary can create an ambiguous situation by deriving a forged watermark from a published work, and commits the forged watermark. Furthermore, the adversary may derive a watermark from existing non-watermarked images in the public domain and later claim ownership of them. One solution is to enforce certain constraints on the valid watermarks. In this paper we propose a zero-knowledge watermark detector that prevents the owner from cheating by ambiguity attacks. In addition, it allows the owner to publish a large number of works with different watermarks, while committing only one secret.
