New research tackles diffusion model watermarking and attack methods

Two new research papers introduce novel methods for watermarking diffusion models and attacking existing watermarks. The first paper, FARI, proposes a fast, one-step inversion framework that improves robustness and significantly reduces processing time for watermark verification. The second paper, FDDWAN, presents a frequency-decoupled diffusion network designed to effectively remove invisible watermarks from images while preserving perceptual fidelity. AI

    FARI: Robust One-Step Inversion for Watermarking in Diffusion Models

    arXiv:2607.26723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inversion-based watermarking is a promising approach to authenticate diffusion-generated images, yet practical use is bottlenecked by inversion that is both slow and error-prone. While the primary challenge in the watermarking set…

    FDDWAN: A Frequency-Decoupled Diffusion Network for Watermarking Attack

    arXiv:2607.27800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing invisible watermark removal methods often struggle to accurately capture the watermark-bearing features, leading to an unfavorable trade-off between watermark suppression and perceptual fidelity. In this paper, we propose t…
