DeepFreqMark: End-To-End Learnable Frequency-Domain Watermarking with Spherical Attack Simulation for Latent Diffusion Models

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.

DRIFT: Removing Diffusion Watermarks by Deflecting the Generative Trajectory

DRIFT is a black‑box attack that removes diffusion watermarks by deflecting the generative trajectory. It combines partial forward diffusion with stochastic reverse resampling to limit the source information available to a fixed‑depth recovery pipeline and to explore alternative noise‑driven paths. Across nine watermarks, DRIFT achieves 98–100% success while preserving image quality, without requiring secret keys, verifier internals, or per‑image gradient optimization.

DRIFT: Removing Diffusion Watermarks by Deflecting the Generative Trajectory

DRIFT is a black‑box attack that removes diffusion watermarks by combining partial forward diffusion with stochastic reverse resampling. It limits the source information available to a fixed‑depth recovery pipeline and uses stochastic reversal to explore alternative noise‑driven paths, refining fidelity only on updates rejected by the same verifier. Across nine watermarks, DRIFT achieves 98–100% attack success and the best image quality without requiring secret keys, verifier internals, or per‑image gradient optimization.

High-Fidelity Face Content Recovery via Tamper-Resilient Versatile Watermarking

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.
