Handwritten Signature Watermarking and Extraction Technique Inspired by Principle of Segregation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a technique for embedding handwritten signature image data into color images and extracting embedded image data from color images. For the sake of security, two watermarked images will be transmitted in different times from the sender’s end to the receiver’s end, in due course, from two transmitted images, at the receiver’s end, original handwritten signature image data will be extracted; a new way of data hiding. From 1994 onward, the use and popularity of Internet in business particular has explored the area of Intellectual Property protection techniques. This paper presents a technique for watermarking Handwritten Signature that achieves robustness by responding to complexity of copy detection, vulnerability to mark removal after revelation for ownership verification and mark integrity issues due to partial mark removal; these three weaknesses.
