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 paper proposes a defense against watermark forgery in generative models by randomizing the selection of watermark keys for each query and accepting content only if exactly one key detects a watermark. This approach provides a sample‑count‑independent upper bound on forgery success for blind attackers while preserving model utility. Experiments show a dramatic drop in forgery success rates—from 87% to 1% with four keys for text and from 100% to 2% for images—without significant computational overhead.

PGID: Progressive Guided Inversion and Denoising is a training‑free, plug‑and‑play framework that protects semantic watermarking in diffusion models from imprint removal and forgery attacks. It restores detection reliability by projecting perturbed latents back to their original regions through progressive inversion‑denoising cycles, eliminating intermediate deflections and mitigating adversarial perturbations. Extensive evaluations show that PGID successfully recovers removed watermarks and identifies forged instances across multiple schemes.

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.
