Abstract

With the coming era of Internet, more and more data are transmitted and exchanged on the networked systems to enjoy the rapid speed and convenience. However, in the cyberspace, the availability of duplication methods encourages the violation of intellectual property rights of digital data, such as document, image, audio, and video. Therefore, the protection of rightful ownership of digital data has become an important issue in recent years. This study discusses various algorithms developed over the years for securing digital images. Algorithms for watermarking (primarily based on transforms) and cryptography (primarily based on visual cryptography scheme) are discussed.
