Abstract

Owing to the rapid increase in the interchange of text information through internet networks, the reliability and security of digital content are becoming a major research problem. Tampering detection, Content authentication, and integrity verification of digital content interchanged through the Internet were utilized to solve a major concern in information and communication technologies. The authors’ difficulties were tampering detection, authentication, and integrity verification of the digital contents. This study develops an Automated Data Mining based Digital Text Document Watermarking for Tampering Attack Detection (ADMDTW-TAD) via the Internet. The DM concept is exploited in the presented ADMDTW-TAD technique to identify the document’s appropriate characteristics to embed larger watermark information. The presented secure watermarking scheme intends to transmit digital text documents over the Internet securely. Once the watermark is embedded with no damage to the original document, it is then shared with the destination. The watermark extraction process is performed to get the original document securely. The experimental validation of the ADMDTW-TAD technique is carried out under varying levels of attack volumes, and the outcomes were inspected in terms of different measures. The simulation values indicated that the ADMDTW-TAD technique improved performance over other models.
