Abstract. A robust watermarking technique for image content authentication is proposed. The scheme is robust to minor modifications resulting from legitimate image processing operations. At the same time, the modifications affecting image content are classified as forgery attacks by the proposed scheme. Simulation results are given for intentional modifications (i.e., forgery attacks) as well as unintentional modifications in the presence of different noise environments, including the coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing which is used in 5G networks, to prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. A security analysis of the proposed watermarking scheme is given in the end.
