MPAA AudioVisual Identification Working Group's white paper Audiovisual Works Identification for the Motion Picture Studio, March 2007.
DRM Watch has just introduced a new Watermarking and Fingerprinting section of the site. Watermarking and fingerprinting are two forms of technology known generically as content identification. Watermarking works by embedding data into digital images, audio, or video in such a way that the data is very difficult to remove and the effect on a user's perception of the content is (usually) nonexistent. The data embedded in a watermark is often the identity of the content, though it could also include the identity of a user or device that downloaded it, or of a retailer that sold it. Fingerprinting is a set of techniques for analyzing content, reducing its unique characteristics to a set of one or more numbers that serve as "fingerprints," and looking those fingerprints up in a database to determine the identity of the content.
