FeatMark is a watermarking framework that protects images from text‑to‑image diffusion model mimicry attacks by embedding small, scene‑consistent micro‑features instead of pixel‑level perturbations. It constructs domain‑specific feature banks, selects executable features, and injects them via mask‑guided concept editing to create highly localized, natural edits. Experiments on VGGFace2, CelebA‑HQ, and WikiArt show FeatMark remains robust against ten strong watermark removal attacks and several adaptive attacks, with minimal impact on perceptual quality and extending to video mimicry scenarios.

The proliferation of AI-generated images produced by Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) has raised critical concerns regarding copyright infringement and misinformation. Although existing frequency-domain watermarking methods embed handcrafted geometric patterns into the initial latent noise prior to generation, they suffer from limited capacity and rigid pattern designs.
arXiv:2607. 22035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Currently, most foundation models can reproduce or strongly depend on copyrighted training content, but output similarity alone is insufficient for infringement detection, because similar outputs may also arise from public-domain concepts, common stylistic conventions, or ordinary statistical generalization.

Text-to-image diffusion models enable data-efficient "mimicry" attacks, wherein adversaries fine-tune the model on a handful of public photos to synthesize convincing forgeries of a target individual....
arXiv:2504. 00035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) enable powerful knowledge injection through approaches such as in-context learning and fine-tuning, but they also introduce new risks of unauthorized imitation of high-value creative works.

The paper introduces VeriFi, a watermarking framework that protects face images from AI‑generated manipulation. It embeds a compact semantic latent watermark to preserve content, localizes pixel‑level edits without explicit payloads, and simulates realistic deepfake attacks to improve robustness. Experiments on CelebA‑HQ and FFHQ show that VeriFi outperforms existing methods in robustness, localization accuracy, and recovery quality.
