New watermarking embeds signals in generative model dynamics

Researchers have developed a novel watermarking technique for generative models that embeds signals directly into the learned continuous dynamics, specifically the velocity field of flow matching models. This method formulates watermarking as random coding over a continuous channel, adding a key-dependent perturbation during training that does not alter the generated distribution. Experiments on standard datasets like MNIST and CIFAR-10 demonstrate reliable message recovery and preserved generation quality, with decoding accuracy dropping to chance levels without the secret key.

    Dynamics-Level Watermarking of Flow Matching Models with Random Codes

    We introduce a dynamics-level approach to watermarking generative models. Rather than embedding signals into model weights or outputs, we embed the watermark directly into the learned continuous dynamics -- the velocity field of a flow matching model. We formulate this as random …
