A Watermark Robustness Commons
Build a public testbed where watermark and detection systems face transformations, compression, translation, adversarial removal, model updates, and false-positive stress. Results should be reproducible and stratified by medium, because a method useful for one platform or abuse case may fail elsewhere.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
NIST surveys watermarking, detection, testing, and auditing; independent provenance research shows why security claims need adversarial verification.
