In this paper, we propose a new digital audio watermarking scheme In the cepstrum domain. We insert a digital watermark signal Into the cepstral components of the audio signal using a technique analogous to spread spectrum Communications, hiding a narrow band signal in a wade band channel. In our proposed method, we use pseudo-random sequences to watermark the audio signal. The watermark Is then weighted in the cepstrum domain according to the distribution of cepstral coefficients and the frequency masking characteristics of the human auditory system. The proposed watermark embedding scheme minimizes audibility of the watermark signal. and the embedded watermark is robust to mu1tip1e watermarks, MPEG audio ceding and additive noose.
