This report discusses a Structural Digital Signature scheme for image authentication that is robust against distortions. It explores scenarios during the authentication process, utilizing wavelet coefficients for authentication. The study presents experimental results, discussions on scalability, complexity, and sensitivity, and concludes highlighting the scheme's effectiveness in distinguishing malicious tampering from incidental alterations.

Structural Digital Signature for Image Authentication: An Incidental Distortion Resistant Scheme Source: IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 161-173, 2003 Authors: Chun-Shien Lu and Hong-Yuan Mark Liao Reporter: Jen-Bang Feng
Outline • Digital Signature • Scenarios During the Authentication Process • SDS Based on Interscale Relation of Wavelet Coefficients • Ex. Results • Discussions • Conclusions
Structural Digital Signature (SDS) • Parent-children pair in Wavelet Trans. SDS(I): 0 <= i,j <= 1, o is the position index
Structural Digital Signature (SDS) Symbol I: p > 0, c > 0 Symbol II: p > 0, c < 0 Symbol III: p < 0, c > 0 Symbol IV: p < 0, c < 0 Record the Symbols as the signature
Verification Completeness of SDS:
Ex. Results 22~4 scales when σ = 256 22~4 scales when σ = 128
Ex. Results 22~4 scales when σ = 256 22~4 scales when σ = 128
Discussions • Num. of scales • Complexity • False Positive & False Negative • Relation between σ and robustness • Relation between σ and sensitivity • If image intensity is changed • If the selected parent-children pair are known and changed
Conclusions • Threshold value determines the size of the authentication message. • Malicious tampering is distinguished from incidental modifications. • Tampered regions are localized. • The recovery of the tampered region is not provided.
