Biometric watermarking via wavelet approach, reverse engineering in info-security and dematerialization of public administration

Abstract

This research wants to present a highly-performing system to establish the intellectual property of a file by using advanced Information Fusion (IF) techniques. IF is different depending on the fact that it can be a textual file, an image or multimedial; indeed, the further step consists in creating blue biometric codes with different watermarking mechanisms based on wavelet and wavelet packet respectively. Thanks to reverse engineering algorithms which this work have generated, such a system seems particularly appropriate to contexts like Public Administration or production companies which present complex industrial/documental processes where it is relevant to trace the access to information, and the sequence of accesses made by operators/users. Hence it seems also clear that such a system can be useful for all that concerns files/contents distributed online for what regards both the intellectual property and the access/modification/use of information.
