The new version of Photoshop coming out this fall includes the ability to
embed "digital watermarking":
(from http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,3188,00.html:
Digital watermarking
adds copyright information to
a photograph that doesn't alter the photo's
appearance. The watermark is detectable even
after the photo is edited or printed and rescanned.
Question: Will stegonagrphying (?) the picture with noise mar the
watermark? Will a digital signature *and* something embedded into the
graphic through steganography seriosly affect a 24-bit image?
Furthermore: What about browsers? Could cookies or binary info be embedded
into images on the fly so that a java applet could preserve information or
states between pages, of different sites?
Just thoughts..
