TAMPERING DETECTION IN COMPRESSED DIGITAL

VIDEO USING WATERMARKING

ABSTRACT
We

presents a method to detect video tampering and distinguish it from common video

processing operations, such as recompression, noise, and brightness increase, using a practical
watermarking scheme for real-time authentication of digital video. In our method, the watermark
signals represent the macro block's and frames indices, and are embedded into the nonzero
quantized discrete cosine transform value of blocks, mostly the last nonzero values, enabling our
method to detect spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal tampering. Our method can be easily
configured to adjust transparency, robustness, and capacity of the system according to the
specific application at hand. In addition, our method takes advantage of content-based
cryptography and increases the security of the system.
