The problem of optimum watermark embedding and detection was addressed in a recent paper by Merhav and Sabbag, where the optimality criterion was the maximum false-negative error exponent subject to a guaranteed false-positive error exponent. In particular, Merhav and Sabbag derived universal asymptotically optimum embedding and detection rules under the assumption that the detector relies solely on second order joint empirical statistics of the received signal and the watermark. In the case of a Gaussian host signal and a Gaussian attack, however, closed-form expressions for the optimum embedding strategy and the false-negative error exponent were not obtained in that work. In this paper, we derive such expressions, again, under the universality assumption that neither the host variance nor the attack power are known to either the embedder or the detector. The optimum embedding rule turns out to be very simple and with an intuitively-appealing geometrical interpretation. The improvement with respect to existing sub-optimum schemes is demonstrated by displaying the optimum false-negative error exponent as a function of the guaranteed false-positive error exponent.
