The main problem encountered during multimedia transmission is its protection against illegal distribution and copying. One of the possible solutions for this is digital watermarking. Digital audio watermarking is the technique of embedding watermark content to the audio signal to protect the owner copyrights. In this paper, we used three wavelet transforms i.e. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)...
