37 .SH DESCRIPTION
38 .B gen_cox_sig
39 is a program to generate a signature to be
40 embedded with the
41 .B wm_cox_e
42 watermarking program and extracted with the
43 .B wm_cox_d
44 program. The
45 .B cmp_cox_sig
46 program is used to compare and test an
47 extracted signature with the original signature.

49 Please refer to Ingemar J. Cox's paper "Secure Spread Spectrum
50 Watermarking for Multimedia", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.

52 .SH OPTIONS
53 .TP
54 .BI \-a \ number
55 Alpha factor that determines embedding strength of the signature. Default
56 value 0.3.
57 .TP
58 .BI \-d \ number
59 Deviation for the normal distributed signature values, default 1.0.
60 .TP
61 .B \-h
62 Print a help message.
63 .TP
64 .BI \-m \ number
65 Mean of the normal distributed signature values, default 0.0.
66 .TP
67 .BI \-n \ number
68 Length of the watermark. Default value 100.
69 .TP
70 .BI \-o \ file
71 Output signature to the specified
72 .I file
73 instead of standard output.
74 .TP
75 .BI \-q \ number
76 Quantization/quality factor. Default value 3.
77 .TP
78 .BI \-s \ number
79 Specify a seed value to initialize the pseudo-random number
80 generator; if not specified, time and pid (process id) are used
81 to initialize the pseudo-random number generator.

87 Magic to identify file type.
88 .TP
89 .I number
90 The length of the signature in bits.
91 .TP
92 .I number
93 The alpha factor (embedding strength).
94 .TP
95 .I number
96 The quantization/quality factor.
97 .TP
98 .I numbers
99 The actual normal distributed signature values, one per line.
