Abstract
With the rapid development of the Internet, many problems regarding the processing of electronic documents have emerged, such as content filtering, information retrieval, security and searching. The security problem of electronic documents mainly focuses on copyright protection, content integrity authentication, monitoring, and other. The digital watermarking as an effective technique for copyright protection, content integrity, and originality authentication has been widely paid attention. The digital documents are different from the printed document where the carrier of it is computer disk, hard disk, or CD magnetic materials, so it is easy to tamper, damaged, deleted and copied. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an effective tool which can verify whether the content of the document has tampered or not. This is because the secure authentication of the document is very important. In this paper, the color document authentication based on QR code and digital watermarking has been implemented with a novel technique. Experimental results show that the designed structure has a good invisibility and ideal capacity. Furthermore, the tampered regions can be precisely detected.
