Digital media intellectual property protection is crucial in safeguarding the creative efforts of content creators and fostering innovation. It ensures that individuals and businesses receive fair recognition and compensation for their digital creations, stimulating continued artistic and technological advancements. Without robust protection, the risk of piracy and unauthorized use threatens to undermine the economic incentives for producing high-quality digital content, jeopardizing the vibrant ecosystem that fuels our digital economy. In this paper a method to enhance the security and the attack resistance of LSB by employing visual cryptography security combined with a lightweight cryptographic technique to ensure the integrity of the watermark. This method starts by calculating the hash value of the secret information using the Photon lightweight hash function for integrity verification. This hash value is appended to the end of the secret value to form a new secret information. secret sharing was used after that to create multiple shares, and these shares were embedded in the cover using LSB. MSE scores for this work were very low (less than 0.01), and it stood against different types of attacks. The Chi-square analysis further supports the robustness of the method, with values such as 2.114 for the all-white image and 0.8361 for the Baboon image, indicating minimal statistical alterations across diverse scenarios.
