The vulnerabilities of and probable attacks on lattice structure based watermark embedding methods have been presented in the literature. DM-QIM is one of the best known lattice structure based watermarking techniques. In this paper, the authors discuss a watermark-only attack scenario (the attacker has access to a single watermarked content only). In the literature it is an assumption that DM-QIM methods are secure to WOA. However, the authors show that the DM-QIM based embedding method is vulnerable against a guided key guessing attack by exploiting subtle statistical regularities in the feature space embeddings for time series and images. Using a distribution-free algorithm, this paper presents an analysis of the attack and numerical results for multiple examples of image and time series data.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jdcf.2010040105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,30]],"date-time":"2010-04-30T16:16:29Z","timestamp":1272644189000},"page":"64-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Watermark-Only Security Attack on DM-QIM Watermarking"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"B.
