Abstract
Database watermarking is considered one of the active research fields, where best trade-off between: robustness, reversibility, and capacity, to protect sensitive data’s: integrity, ownership, and copyright, is needed in any watermarking scheme. As for database security, developing a persistent and robust watermarking system, is the ultimate objective for securing the databases. Accordingly, in our suggested method, we have studied various works suggested by other authors with a focus on determining their strengths and weaknesses. Eventually, we came with a new idea for protecting RDB by means of reversible
watermarking, where better results in comparison with previous researchers’ methods are gained.
