<p> Watermarking is the process of embedding information into a carrier signal such as audio, video, and images. It is widely used to protect proprietary information in the signal to prevent information theft or duplicity. In this project, an audio watermarking system with dual layer security has been implemented. The entire system is divided into two sections that are independent, but have been combined, to make a unique system that provides increased levels of robustness. The first part of the project involves encrypting an embedded image (watermark) using the XOR method of symmetric key cryptography. Encryption is then followed by watermarking. The digital wavelet transform (DWT) algorithm was used to embed the encrypted image into an audio signal. This ensures that even if this image is removed during an attack to the carrier signal, it cannot be interpreted or used. Though encryption combined with watermarking is unconventional, it proves to be an effective technique when implemented correctly.</p>
