Whether you need to quickly come up to speed on the state of the art in digital watermarking or want to explore the latest research in this area, such as 3-D geometry watermarking, this timely reference gives you the hands-on knowledge you need for your work. This book covers the full range of media -- still images, audio data, video, 3-D geometry data, formatted text, music scores, and program code -- that you can protect with digital watermarking.
Realistic application scenarios and parameters help you to decide which watermarking technology is right for a host of applications. In-depth analysis of threats, risks, and attack mechanisms lets you establish quality and robustness criteria to ensure optimal content protection. Copy and usage schemes, digital rights management, tamper resistance, and encryption are also among the content protection mechanisms and solutions that this book arms you with to prevent illegal pirating of copyrighted digital content.
This informative, new resource presents the first comprehensive treatment of silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBTs). It offers you a complete, from-the-ground-up understanding of SiGe HBT devices and technology, from a very broad perspective. The book covers motivation, history, materials, fabrication, device physics, operational principles, and circuit-level properties associated with this new cutting-edge semiconductor device technology. Including over 400 equations and more than 300 illustrations, this hands-on reference shows you in clear and concise language how to design, simulate, fabricate, and measure a SiGe HBT.
Text presents the state of the art and the latest research in digital watermarking and content protection. Provides an in-depth analysis of threats, risks, and attack mechanisms that aid in establishing quality criteria to ensure optimal content protection. DLC: Computer security.
