Text fingerprint key generation

Digital content copyright protection is a key concern in the current environment where intellectual property is constantly threatened. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to provide a holistic structured approach for protecting digital text. The key application of the proposed algorithm is to protect text against alteration and tampering under “Cut & Paste” attacks. This approach provides a promising solution to current digital security challenges, through providing a starting point towards secured sharing and usage of digital content. The paper also examines key protection techniques, their uses and their drawbacks. Some of the key techniques discussed include forms of cryptography, steganography and watermarking.
