Performance Analysis of Digital Watermarking Algorithms with their Practical Uses on Web Applications

Abstract

Several security algorithms for software code have been discovered and implemented by the software or application developer for the protection of their original code or code modules. The reason behind the security is to prove the ownership of their code. Application code could be in any form i.e. code could be related to web application or that could be implemented in mobile applications. Surveys have been done by the various organizations like BSA, for the identification of software piracy. In this regard, we have proposed a model for the security of software code by using Digital Watermarking. Digital Watermarking is a technique in which a security key will be implemented in such a way that the originality of the code should remain unchanged or unaffected. With the help of extraction algorithm we can identify whether the receiving data is original or not. This proposed model has been implemented on web based application using Dot Net framework. In this research paper, we have done the implementation analysis of digital watermarking algorithms, Embedding Algorithms and Extraction Algorithms, along with their practical usage. For the analysis of implementation of digital watermarking code we have utilizes various software testing tools.
