However, existing copyright protection schemes of NFT image art relied on the NFTs itself minted by third-party platforms. A minted NFT image art only tracks and verifies the entire transaction process, but the legitimacy of the source and ownership of its mapped digital image art cannot be determined. The original author or authorized publisher lack an active defense mechanism to prove ownership of the digital image art mapped by the unauthorized NFT. Therefore, we propose a self-defense copyright protection scheme for NFT image art based on information embedding in this article, called SDCP-IE. The original author or authorized publisher can embed the copyright information into the published digital image art without damaging its visual effect in advance. Different from the existing information embedding works, the proposed SDCP-IE can generally enhance the invisibility of copyright information with different embedding capacity. Furthermore, considering the scenario of copyright information being discovered or even destroyed by unauthorized parties, the designed SDCP-IE can efficiently generate enhanced digital image art to improve the security performance of embedded image, thus resisting the detection of multiple known and unknown detection models simultaneously. The experimental results have also shown that the PSNR values of enhanced embedded image are all over 57db on three datasets BOSSBase, BOWS2, and ALASKA#2. Moreover, compared with existing information embedding works, the enhanced embedded images generated by SDCP-IE reaches the best transferability performance on the advanced CNN-based detection models. When the target detector is the pre-trained SRNet at 0.4 bpp, the test error rate of SDCP-IE at 0.4 bpp on the evaluated detection model YeNet reaches 53.38%, which is 4.92%, 28.62%, and 7.05% higher than that of the UTGAN, SPS-ENH, and Xie-Model, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3652519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,6]],"date-time":"2024-04-06T10:19:41Z","timestamp":1712398781000},"page":"1-23","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Self-Defense Copyright Protection Scheme for NFT Image Art Based on Information Embedding"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2095-5256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4363-2521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhangjie","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing, China and Xidian University, Xian, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0827-9443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-24178-9_5"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_2","unstructured":"P.
