Full text of article: Russian language.

Abstract:
A new semi-fragile (i.e. robust to a certain set of host image modification methods) watermarking algorithm for combined data hiding and host image tampering detection is proposed, which allows to overcome several major limitations and drawbacks of an existing watermarking schemes.

Key words:
digital watermarking, image authentiqation, data hiding, steganography.
