Performance comparison of two text marking methods

A text document typically consists of a collection of regular structures such as words, lines, and paragraphs, a slight movement of which seems less perceptible than, say, dithering of the document image. In this paper we exploit this property to watermark formatted text documents by shifting slightly certain lines and words in order to discourage illicit distribution. We analyze two methods fo...

Methods for Improving Performance on Packet Marking by Reducing Marking Duplicates

Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM) is one of the methods on IP traceback. In this method, intermediate router embeds (i.e., marks) the address of itself into the header of the sampled packet. However, because the PPM does not have a mechanism to avoid overrides of marking information, there is a problem that it requires a lot of packets to reconstruct attack route. We previously proposed two ma...
