Abstract: The digital revolution has led to an increase in the production and exchange of valuable digitized documents across institutions, companies and the general public alike. Ensuring the authenticity, integrity and ownership of these official or high-value documents is essential if they are to be considered useful. Digital watermarking is a possible solution to this challenge as it has already been used for copyright protection, source tracking, and video authentication to name just a few applications of its use. It also enables integrity protection, which is of value for numerous documents types (e.g., official documents, medical images). In this paper, we propose a new watermarking solution that is applicable to image watermarking and is based on hyperbolic geometry. Our new solution builds upon existing work in geometrical watermarking.
