31 .SH DESCRIPTION
32 .B gen_koch_sig
33 is a program to generate a signature to be
34 embedded with the
35 .B wm_koch_e
36 watermarking program and extracted with the
37 .B wm_koch_d
38 program. The
39 .B cmp_koch_sig
40 program is used to compare and test an
41 extracted signature with the original signature.

44 Image Copyright", 1995, to get an idea about the algorithm.

46 .SH OPTIONS
47 .TP
48 .B \-h
49 Print a help message.
50 .TP
51 .BI \-n \ number
52 Limit the signature length to
53 .I number
54 bits (0 <
55 .I number
56 <= 1024) unless reading from standard input. When reading from
57 standard input, the signature is terminated by the first
58 carriage return character.
59 .TP
60 .BI \-o \ file
61 Output signature to the specified
62 .I file
63 instead of standard output.
64 .TP
65 .BI \-q \ number
66 Quality/robustness factor used to embed signature into image.
67 Default value: 3.0.
68 .TP
69 .BI \-s \ number
70 Specify a seed value to initialize the pseudo-random number
71 generator; if not specified, time and pid (process id) are used
72 to initialize the pseudo-random number generator.
73 .TP
74 .IR file
75 Input file to read raw signature data from. Default: standard
76 input.
77 .PP
78 .SH OUTPUT
79 The output file has the following format:
80 .TP
81 .B KCSG
82 Magic to identify file type.
83 .TP
84 .I number
85 The length of the signature in bits.
86 .TP
87 .I number
88 The quality/robustness factor.
89 .TP
90 .I number
91 The seed value for the pseudo-random number generator.
92 .TP
93 .I string
94 The actual signature bytes.
