Steganography for document tracking

Create a tool that embeds invisible tracking markers in documents to identify leaks. Help businesses trace confidential document disclosures.

Why now

High-profile leaks are driving demand for better document tracking that doesn't ruin document appearance like watermarks.

Who for
Businesses handling sensitive documents
Business model
Annual licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Companies sharing sensitive documents lack discrete ways to identify leakers when confidential materials surface externally.

Develop a web tool that embeds unique, invisible markers in PDFs and office documents that survive editing and conversion while being undetectable to recipients.

Legal teams and enterprises would pay for annual licenses to protect IP and investigate leaks.

Start with PDF support using existing steganography libraries before expanding to office formats.

Risk: Legal gray area in some jurisdictions regarding hidden tracking mechanisms.
