Watermarking
A form of marking that embeds copyright information about the artist or owner. The process of digital watermarking hides information within a file that is known only to the file’s creator. If someone later creates an unauthorized copy of the content, the watermark can be used to detect the copy and (if uniquely watermarked files are provided to each original recipient) trace the offending copy back to the source.

A watermarking attack that is particularly useful for images that are distributed over the Internet. It relies on a web browsers ability to assemble mutiple images so they appear to be one image. A watermarked image can be broken into pieces but displayed as a single image by the browser. Any program trying to detect the watermark will look at each individual piece, and if they are small enough, will not be able to detect the watermark.
