Forensic Watermarking
When everything can be faked, trust nothing unless it's AuthMarked.
The Document Security Problem
Traditional security can't trace leaked documents back to their source
Traditional document security fails because it can't trace who leaked what, when, or how. By the time you discover a leak, the damage is done and the trail is cold.
Anonymous Leaks
No way to identify the source
Detection Delays
Months pass before discovery
No Legal Recourse
Without proof, no prosecution
Easy Distribution
Documents spread instantly
Massive Losses
IP theft costs millions
Dark Web Sales
Documents sold globally
Critical Reality: Without forensic watermarking, leaked documents are untraceable—AuthMark changes that.
The Solution: Prevention + Investigation
Prevention First
- Invisible Watermarks: Imperceptible markers embedded in every document
- Unique Identifiers: Each copy contains recipient-specific forensic data
- Psychological Deterrent: Users know documents are traceable
- All Formats: PDFs, images, videos, presentations
Investigation
- Upload & Trace: Upload suspected leaked document for instant analysis
- Computer Vision: AI-powered analysis extracts hidden identifiers
- Forensic Report: Complete audit trail with legal evidence
- Real-time Alerts: Automatic notifications of suspicious activity
Steganographic Techniques
Digital Fingerprinting
Cryptographic signatures embedded at the binary level
Visual Steganography
Invisible pixel modifications using Chroma and Luma techniques
Metadata Embedding
Hidden identifiers in file headers and properties
Text Watermarking
Subtle variations in spacing, fonts, and formatting
Watermarking Capabilities
Dynamic Watermark Evolution
Adaptive watermarks that evolve based on document access patterns, creating a living security system that becomes more sophisticated with each interaction.
- Time-based watermark mutations that track document age
- Access-pattern learning for anomaly detection
- Self-healing watermarks that resist removal attempts
Multi-layer Security Architecture
Nested watermark layers for different document sensitivity levels, allowing granular access control and progressive information revelation based on viewer permissions.
- Hierarchical access layers with different watermark strengths
- Role-based watermark visibility and extraction
- Decoy watermarks to confuse attackers
Resilience Testing
Industry-leading watermark survivability through screenshots, photos of screens, format conversions, and even analog reproduction methods.
Digital Attacks
- • Screenshot resistance
- • Format conversion survival
- • Compression tolerance
- • Crop and resize immunity
Physical Attacks
- • Camera photo detection
- • Print-scan recovery
- • Photocopy tracking
- • Display capture forensics
Collaborative Workspace Security
Monitor and track document modifications in shared workspaces, maintaining individual accountability while enabling secure collaboration.
- Per-user edit tracking with unique watermark signatures
- Version control integration with watermark evolution
- Real-time collaboration monitoring and anomaly alerts
Print-to-Digital Continuity
Revolutionary watermarks that survive the physical-digital boundary, maintaining traceability through printing, scanning, and photography cycles.
- Invisible print markers detectable after re-digitization
- Micro-pattern encoding resistant to quality loss
- Circular verification - digital to physical and back
