This paper presents a new approach for the copyright protection of digital multimedia data. The system applies cryptographic protocols and a public key technique for different purposes, namely encoding/decoding a digital watermark generated by any spread spectrum technique and the secure transfer of watermarked data from the sender to the receiver in a commercial business process. The public key technique is applied for the construction of a one-way watermark embedding and verification function to identify and prove the uniqueness of the watermark. In addition, our approach provides secure owner authentication data who has initiated the watermark process for a specific data set. Legal dispute resolution is supported for multiple watermarking of digital data without revealing the confidential keying information.
