Résumé

The description of the steganographic method for embedding the digital watermark into image vector files of the SVG format is given. Vector images in SVG format can include elements based on Bezier curves. The proposed steganographic method is based on the splitting of cubic Bezier curves. Embedding hidden information involves splitting cubic Bezier curves according to the digital watermark given as numerical sequence. Algorithms of direct and reverse steganographic transformation are considered for proving the authenticity and integrity of a digital vector image. The StegoSVG library has been developed to implement forward and reverse steganographic transformations. The developed desktop application that implements the method is briefly described.

Keywords: steganography; copyright; digital watermark; vector graphics; SVG format.
