Issue marked copies

Every recipient gets a copy with its own fingerprint. If a copy leaks, TAPAK can point to the copy it came from and give the chance that the accusation is wrong.

Document and recipients

The master document stays on this device. The registry stores only the document’s hash and each recipient’s code commitment.

Recorded in the registry as the issuing party.
Background pattern A layer of code under the page text. Choose by how the copies will be shared.

Print-profile background: pages look light grey, on screen and on paper, and the texture of the pattern may show on close inspection. Use this profile only when the copies will be printed and you accept that look.

Word shift scheme Word and line shifts. On paper they add evidence; it is the background pattern that names the copy there.
Code and canary settings
How many recipients might collude by comparing copies.
For the whole recipient list, fixed before any analysis.
Leave empty to turn canary tokens off.
Reading the text layer and testing the visual gate. For a scanned PDF: reading the word boxes of the scanned pages with Tesseract (a few seconds per page).
