Abstract
The feasibility of inserting a signature into a musical file is proven to be one of widely used technique for copyright and security purposes. In this paper we present a brief overview of the watermarking approaches and implementation in simple MIDI files (SMF). The authors suggest a method based on velocity and duration modulation to embed a digital logo representing watermark data. The watermark robustness is shown via experiments with simulated attacks. Potential problems are discussed in further studies.
