The Document Security Problem

Traditional security can't trace leaked documents back to their source

IP Theft Goes Undetected

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
