Abstract: Digital Watermarking has become essential and prime need for multimedia industry, internet users and digital data authentication fields. With rapid growth of digital data, we have problems related to security and copyright authentication .These increased use of digital data creates new challenges for document owners and their reliable customers. Digital Watermarking has provided global and cost effective solution for digital image communication. In this paper a robust digital watermarking algorithm based on Joint DWT-DCT Transformation is proposed. A secrete message is scrambled and embedded in DWT-DCT coefficients of host image. Uncompressed digital watermark images need a lot storage capacity and bandwidth. For efficient image transmission needs image compression. Then watermarked data is used for desired application by channel communication.
