README: Robust Error-Aware Digital Signature Framework via Deep Watermarking Model
- 通过裁剪扩展容量,结合误差定位修正模块增强鲁棒性
- 在真实失真下嵌入2048位签名,零错误率从1.2%升至86.3%
- 无需微调预训练模型,适合高安全场景的图像认证
基于深度学习的水印技术在图像认证与保护中展现出广阔前景。然而,现有模型存在嵌入容量低、对比特级错误敏感等缺陷,难以满足数字签名等密码学应用对超过2048比特无错数据的需求。本文提出README(Robust Error-Aware Digital Signature via Deep WaterMarking ModEl)框架,实现图像内可验证、抗错的数字签名。该方法结合基于裁剪的容量扩展机制与轻量级纠错模块ERPA(ERror PAinting Module),利用Distinct Circular Subsum Sequences(DCSS)定位并修复比特错误。无需微调现有预训练水印模型,即可将2048比特数字签名在单张图像中的零比特错误率(Z.B.I.R)从1.2%提升至86.3%,即使在真实世界失真下依然有效。此外,采用感知哈希进行签名验证,确保公开可验证性及防篡改能力。本框架为深度水印开辟了高可信应用场景,弥合了信号级水印与密码安全之间的鸿沟。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning-based watermarking has emerged as a promising solution for robust image authentication and protection. However, existing models are limited by low embedding capacity and vulnerability to bit-level errors, making them unsuitable for cryptographic applications such as digital signatures, which require over 2048 bits of error-free data. In this paper, we propose README (Robust Error-Aware Digital Signature via Deep WaterMarking ModEl), a novel framework that enables robust, verifiable, and error-tolerant digital signatures within images. Our method combines a simple yet effective cropping-based capacity scaling mechanism with ERPA (ERror PAinting Module), a lightweight error correction module designed to localize and correct bit errors using Distinct Circular Subsum Sequences (DCSS). Without requiring any fine-tuning of existing pretrained watermarking models, README significantly boosts the zero-bit-error image rate (Z.B.I.R) from 1.2% to 86.3% when embedding 2048-bit digital signatures into a single image, even under real-world distortions. Moreover, our use of perceptual hash-based signature verification ensures public verifiability and robustness against tampering. The proposed framework unlocks a new class of high-assurance applications for deep watermarking, bridging the gap between signal-level watermarking and cryptographic security.
