To overcome the weak robustness problem of embedding the watermark in the spatial domain and to provide high authentication, the present paper presents a novel watermarking scheme with two steps. In the step one, the proposed method modifies the original image in transform domain and identifies the pixel location to insert the watermark bits in the difference values between the original image and its reference image based on a novel fuzzy logic method. To provide high authentication and security in the step two, the watermark bits are embedded in the pixel location selected by step one using Region based Even Odd (REO) Method. The Fuzzy Wavelet (FW) scheme of step one eliminates the requirement of original image for the watermark extraction. The experimental result indicates the efficacy of the proposed method when compared with the various other methods. Keywords: Fuzzy logic, Wavelet Transformation, Robustness, Authentication, Security. 1 Introduction In recent years, the necessity to protect multimedia content from illegal copying and image authentication has been made more critical by the advent of digital technology [1]. To protect the content, digital image watermarking techniques are applied. The digital watermark represents the copyright information of the protected image. In general, a digital watermark can be a logo, label, or a random sequence. With the use of the watermark embedding process in the watermarking technique, a digital
