Preservation of IPR of Songs through Embedding Secret Song (IPRSESS).

Abstract: Security is one of the major challenging issues for creative industries all over the world. This paper proposes a technique to provide security to digital song by embedding another strip of song as secret code into original song without affecting its a udible quality. Separating phases and amplitudes of both song signals is precursor to the proposed technique followed by shifting of phases of secret song with modulating amplitude to fabricate the authenticating code. The embedded unique secret audio is use d to detect and identify the originality of song from similar available songs. A comparative study has been made with existing techniques and experimental results are also presented based on Microsoft WAVE (“.wav”) stereo sound file. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
