2020. Alphanumeric Database Security through Digital Watermarking. 2020 International Conference on Convergence to Digital World - Quo Vadis (ICCDW). :1—4.
As the demand of online data availability increases for sharing data, business analytics, security of available data becomes important issue, data needs to be protected from unauthorized access as well as it needs to provide authority that the data is received from a trusted owner. To provide owners identity digital watermarking technique is used since long time for multimedia data. This paper proposed a technique which supports watermarking on database as most of the data available today is in database format. The characters to be entered as watermark are converted into binary values; these binary values are hidden in the database using space character. Each bit is hidden in each tuple randomly. Ant colony optimization algorithm is proposed to select tuples where watermark bits are inserted. The proposed system is enhanced in terms of security due to use of ant colony optimization and resilient because even if some bits are modified the hidden text remains almost same.

2020. A distortion-free watermarking approach for verifying integrity of relational databases. 2020 International Conference on Smart Innovations in Design, Environment, Management, Planning and Computing (ICSIDEMPC). :192—195.
Due to high availability and easy accessibility of information, it has become quite difficult to assure security of data. Even though watermarking seems to be an effective solution to protect data, it is still challenging to be used with relational databases. Moreover, inserting a watermark in database may lead to distortion. As a result, the contents of database can no longer remain useful. Our proposed distortion-free watermarking approach ensures that integrity of database can be preserved by generating an image watermark from its contents. This image is registered with Certification Authority (CA) before the database is distributed for use. In case, the owner suspects any kind of tampering in the database, an image watermark is generated and compared with the registered image watermark. If both do not match, it can be concluded that the integrity of database has been compromised. Experiments are conducted on Forest Cover Type data set to localize tampering to the finest granularity. Results show that our approach can detect all types of attack with 100% accuracy.
