Abstract
Content authentication of the text document has become a major concern in the current digital era. In this paper, a tamper locating algorithm for DOCX document content authentication is proposed. Firstly, according to the characteristics of DOCX format, the authentication information unrelated to the text content is embedded into the main setting file named document.xml by displaying characters segmentation. Then, identify the integrity of the text by confirming whether the embedded watermark is same to the authentication watermark. Experiments show that the algorithm is very fragile to any modification and can locate the tampered places very well.
