P0149 XML compliant Signature GeneratorKa-Po Lam
       As individual parts of the JPEG 2000 (J2K) standard, Part 8 (JPSEC)
       deals with such security issues as authorship and ownership of the
       image data, whilst Part 9 (JPIP) defines how interactive
       applications between a client and server can be created.
       Using the metadata stored within a data stream, the aim of this
       project is to design a prototype generator which can permit image
       'signatures' to be generated and (similar to the concept of
       watermarking) to be exchanged across image-centric engines (eg.
       image databases) in a networked/distributed environment.
       By adopting a suitable pattern recognition methodology, these
       signatures are expected to offer increasingly important
       transactional information - licensing restrictions, client details
       customer ..etc, in supporting security-enforced communications of
       image-based information in a standard compliant XML environment.
