Performance Evaluation for Watermarking Techniques

With the increasing complexity of integrated circuits, system-on-chip (SoC) design is proved an effective design method due to intellectual property (IP) reuse. To protect IPs from piracy, watermarking techniques have significantly advanced as an IP protection (IPP) technique. It is an important work to judge the watermarking solutions achieve the goals or not. In this paper, we analyze several representative watermarking techniques from a few aspects and firstly evaluate their power by using proposed functions. We hope this work can help designers to develop stronger watermarking techniques.
