Multimedia security and copyright protection has been a popular topic for research and application, due to the explosion of data exchange over the internet and the widespread use of digital media. Watermarking is a process of hiding the digital information inside a digital media. Information hiding as digital watermarks in multimedia enables protection mechanism in decrypted contents. This paper presents a comparative study of existing technique used for digital watermarking an image using Genetic Algorithm and Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFO) based optimization technique with proposed one which consists of Genetic Algorithm and Honey Bee based optimization technique. The results obtained after experiment conclude that, new method has indeed outperformed then the conventional technique. The implementation is done over the MATLAB.

This paper reports a research work on how to transmit a secured image data using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in combination of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with low power and high speed. This can have better quality secured image with reduced latency and improved throughput. A combined model of DWT and AES technique help in achieving higher compression ratio and simultaneously it provides high security while transmitting an image over the channels. The lifting scheme algorithm is realized using a single and serialized DT processor to compute up to 3-levels of decomposition for improving speed and security. An ASIC circuit is designed using RTL-GDSII to simulate proposed technique using 65 nm CMOS Technology. The ASIC circuit is implemented on an average area of about 0.76 mm2 and the power consumption is estimated in the range of 10.7-19.7 mW at a frequency of 333 MHz which is faster compared to other similar research work reported.
