Secure Seed-Based Multi-bit Watermarking for Diffusion Models from First Principles
The rapid emergence of generative image models has led to the development of specialized watermarking techniques, particularly in-generation methods such as seed-based embedding. However, current evaluations in this area remain largely empirical, making them heavily reliant on the specific model architectures used for generation and inversion. This prevents any clear conclusion on the performance of any method, especially regarding security, for which a rigorous definition is lacking. Against this approach, we argue that the effectiveness of a watermarking scheme should be established purely through a thorough theoretical analysis. This is enabled by decoupling the model-dependent part fr...
