Piva The Break Our Watermarking System BOWS contest gave researchers three months to defeat an unknown watermark given three marked images and online access to a watermark detector. The authors participated in the first phase of the contest defeating the mark while retaining the highest average quality among attacked images. The techniques developed in this contest led to general methods for reverse-engineering a watermark algorithm via experimental images fed to its detector. The techniques exploit the tendency of watermark algorithms to admit characteristic false positives which can be used to identify an algorithm or estimate certain parameters.

INTRODUCTION The Break Our Watermarking System BOWS contest gave researchers a unique opportunity to test existing techniques for breaking a watermarking algorithm 1 . The contest also posed the researcher with a separate problem given an unknown watermark detector can one deduce the underlying algorithm from its output This can also be attacked using adaptive inputs to a detector except in this case the inputs are not used to find a better image but to leak information about a detector structure s components. We used this approach to reverse-engineer the BOWS watermark by posing carefully designed images to the .
