arXiv:2608. 10166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Digital watermarking has emerged as a critical technique for provenance and copyright attribution in AI-generated imagery, yet its robustness against realistic, model-agnostic removal attacks remains poorly explored.
The paper introduces Latent Frequency Masking, an attack that removes or weakens invisible watermarks in AI-generated images by altering selected Fourier coefficients in the latent space. It demonstrates that this method can effectively compromise six diffusion watermarking techniques while maintaining image quality and running faster than existing attacks. The study provides a theoretical distortion bound and evaluates the attack on images from DiffusionDB and MS-COCO prompts.

IRIS is a training‑free watermarking scheme for diffusion‑generated images that binds a watermark to the image’s visual semantics. It derives an intrinsic ring identifier from a content code of the non‑watermarked image and injects it late in the generation trajectory, ensuring the mark survives common processing while breaking under semantic changes or foreign images. Experiments on three prompt datasets show IRIS reliably detects watermarks, maintains fidelity to the original image, and resists forgery techniques that defeat other marks.
