Title: Verification and watermarking apparatus
Inventor: OKADA TAKANORI
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 2003-07-16
Abstract: A digital watermarking apparatus (15h) inputs video or audio information and embeds digital watermark in the information, which is capable of preventing digital watermark or set values necessary for digital watermarking operation from being altered. The apparatus includes a verifying section (805), a decrypting section (808) and a watermarking section (802). The verifying section (805) verifies encrypted set values (811) using verification data in set values which is added with verification data and encrypted together with verification data, and transmits the verification result to the watermarking section (802). The verifying section (805) also transmits the encrypted set values (811) which are verified to the decrypting section (808). The decrypting section (808) decrypts the encrypted set values. The watermarking section (802) embeds digital watermark in the information using the decrypted and verified set values to output it, when a verification result from the verifying section is normal. When the verification result is not normal, the watermarking section (802) does not output the input information to the outside of the apparatus (15h).

IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2003-08-14
Abstract: A law enforcement application 304/324 executes commands for monitoring telephone conversations in compliance with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). When a CALEA subject 306/326 initiates a call to a destination 308/328, a service control point (SCP) 316 redirects the call to the law enforcement application which uses a Primary Rate Interface (PRI) device 302/322 to handle the call and loop the B-channels associated with the CALEA subject and the destination device. The PRI device respectively redirects D-channel call data and B-channel voice data across a packet network (IP network) to an operator 314/334 and a monitoring device such as a recorder or headset 336. The redirected data is encapsulated in a packet telephony protocol such as Signalling Transport (SIGTRAN) so that it may be transported over the packetized network. The law enforcement application 304/324 may be associated with any network such as a PSTN 308 or IP 320 network. Calls may be initiated over any communications network.
