Abstract
An apparatus for embedding secret information in an image signal transmitted with a shape signal showing the shape of an object is described. This apparatus comprises an embedding position decision unit for deciding a position in the object where the secret information is to be embedded, according to the shape signal; and a compositor for embedding the secret information in the position decided by the decision unit. Therefore, the secret information is protected against translation or clipping of image.
