Definitions
- the invention relates an electronic system device able to generate sound signals, of audio frequency range, to insert, by means of a coding unit, both text messages and digital signatures, into musical and speech files, besides it is able to decode them and check their authenticity using a decoder unit.
- the coder inserts in real time the text containing the data identifying the file and the user's digital signature on line. For this purpose it uses a pseudo random coding in the audio frequency range.
- the process performed by the coder on the audio frequency signals doesn't alter the sound quality since the changing introduced is imperceptible and unchangeable. Besides this process allows identifying the file and the user through his digital signature.
- the decoder is the relevant part of the system presented and is able to detect, also in critical conditions, the text and the digital signatures, inserted by the coder in the elaborated files.
- Critical condition is every situation in which the files, managed in the initial phase by the coder, have had distortions, elaborations and different types of treatments able to modify the audio frequency characteristics.
- the invention is a solution able to fight the counterfeiting of CD musical, video films and other recordings in the multimedia area of illegal reproduction.
- the invention uses the "watermarking" in the situations where it is required to know with certainness the producer of the multimedia files in order to allow the identification of the source and to stop the illegal diffusion.
- the aim of this invention is fighting the hackers of the recording duplication and the illegal diffusion of audio and audiovisual files, including those concerning telephone traces authorized by legal Authority.
- the main advantage of this invention associated to its innovative architecture, is the relevant protection against every type of attack performed by means of well known solutions to delete the source identity.
- the invention is a typical electronic product and properly an audiovisual electronic device utilised in the multimedia electronic devices. It basically consists of:
- the controller is a unit that uses the decoder to extract the hidden message and identify the source.
- the "source” is considered the unit responsible for the multimedia production process including the place where the recording has been done.
- the insertion of the algorithm does not allow the cancellation of inserted hidden message in the multimedia signal.
- the hidden message will remain unaltered in spite of the attempt of erasing it because it is inserted so that it cannot be modified or destroyed without making the basic audiovisual not understandable. Its strength is obtained by working in the frequency range and "spreading" the identification data message in redundant way and mistake correction using the whole frequency range available.
- the most relevant aspect is the absence of the deletion capability.
- the watermarking algorithm is programmed in order to provide the no deletion feature of marking signals instead of the no perception feature.
- the system, Fig.3 is mainly based on the coder unit, Fig.1 , and on the decoder unit, Fig.2 .
- the coder system consists of, Fig.1 , a cipher unit 1 using a private authentication key k2 of the text message T1, a decipher unit 2 of the audiovisual digital signal S1 using a decipher key k1, a sequence generator 3 using a key k3 controlling the pseudo random sequences, a large range modem 4, a signal audiovisual characteristics analyzer/detector 5, a signal processor 6 which makes a conversion from time to frequency, a signal processor 7 which performs a "watermarking" procedure, a signal processor 8 which makes a reverse conversion from frequency to time, a processor 9 and a storage buffer 10.
- the digital signal S1 musical sound or speech is received as a ciphered signal and forwarded to the input of the deciphered unit 2 using the K1 key.
- the multimedia signal will not be reproduced so far as the marker is not applied. As long as the signal is out of the marker device it is transmitted in a ciphered way.
- the marker device deciphers the signal, makes ready the message consisting of the certified message containing the identification data and it inserts a protected support in the audio (visual) file. When the marker is applied, the audio message is deciphered and it is again understandable.
- the message T1 is provided to the cipher unit 1 digital input, using K2 key and it is transmitted to the extended range modem 4 to process in computer 7 the watermarking of signal S1, previously processed and transferred in the frequency field by analyser 5 and computer 6.
- the codex system process ends by the reversing change from the frequency to the time performed by computer 8 which produces on line the audiovisual signal S2 marked in unchangeable and imperceptible way.
- the decoder Fig 2 , consists of signal elaborator 1 which processes, according to a mathematic algorithm, the S2 signal from the time field to the frequency field, a correlator 3, a pseudo random sequences generator 2 based on the K3 key, a decipher unit for the message based on K4 key, of an analyser-detector 5 of the audiovisual signal parameters, a processor 6 and a buffer device 7.
- the S2 signal after the treatment 1 in the frequency field, is provided to the correlator 3, working on the pseudorandom sequence generated by source 2, using K3 key and the parameters of the sound signals from analyser 5.
- the signal originated from the correlation, the hidden message is deciphered in the unit 4 which defines on the public k4 key the text message T1.
- the decoder can be working off-line, due to the controller need to verify the "ad hoc" message T1 previously inserted and coded.
- the system presented is implemented by means of a component available on the consumer market.
- the invention allows coding and decoding phases for audio recorders and it is used mainly in the treatment and in the protection of confidential and private owned.
- the system is managed by SW program specifically developed, being user interface with coder and decoder and performing the following functions:
