Abstract
Since the Internet has been more widely used and more people have access to multimedia content, copyright hacking, and piracy have risen. By the use of watermarking techniques, security, asset protection, and authentication have all been made possible. In this paper, a comparison between fragile and robust watermarking techniques has been presented to benefit them in recent studies to increase the level of security of critical media. A new technique has been suggested when adding an embedded value (129) to each pixel of the cover image and representing it as a key to thwart the attacker, increase security, rise imperceptibility, and make the system faster in detecting the tamper from unauthorized users. Using the two watermarking types in the same system reaches better results and increases the power of the system and makes it robust against any attack and revel the modification if any at the same time. PSNR has been used as a performance metric to evaluate the study. The result of the new proposed watermark is 54. It is preferable to utilize both a fragile and a robust watermark simultaneously.
