Exploring Weaknesses of Generative Image Watermarks against Latent Frequency Masking

Kirill Aistov, Khaled Abud, Irina Serzhenko et al. · 2026

Invisible watermarking has become a central tool for tracing AI-generated images, but its robustness against adaptive removal attacks remains an open security question. We introduce Latent Frequency Masking, an attack that erases watermark evidence by replacing selected Fourier coefficients in the latent representation …
