Abstract
Due to the increasing use of databases in many real-life applications, database watermarking has been suggested lately as a vital technique for copyright protection of databases. In this paper, we propose an efficient database watermarking algorithm based on inserting a binary image watermark in Arabic character attributes. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed algorithm against common database attacks.
