Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0057643A1] The present invention is a method for protecting a data signal where the method comprises the following steps: applying a data reduction technique (200) to the signal to produce a reduced signal, subtracting (60) the reduced data signal from the original signal to produce a remainder signal (39), embedding (300) a first watermark into the reduced data signal to produce a watermarked redued data signal, and adding (50) the watermarked reduced signal to the remainder signal to produce an output signal (90). A second watermark (301) may be embedded into the remainder signal (39) before the final addition (50) step. Cryptographic techniques may be employed to encrypt the remainder signal and/or the reduced signal prior to the addition step (50).
