Abstract: An Asymmetric digital watermarking algorithm is proposed, based on the discrete Hartley transform (DHT). The energy of the reference watermark is redistributed in the DHT domain to get embedding watermarks. They have the same correlation with the reference one. The embedding watermarks can be detected by the reference one, but not by one another. To decide whether the watermark is present or not, the detector compares the correlation coefficient with the decision threshold. In addition, the proposed algorithm deals with real numbers, which increases the computing efficiency compared with those dealing with complex numbers.

Key words: Asymmetric digital watermarking, discrete Hartley transform (DHT), redistributed power, correlated watermarks
