Abstract

On the Internet, various communication channels are readily available for companies, communities, and individuals. As companies have increasingly made use of social websites and instant messaging technologies for marketing and public relations, additional effort has been put in place to create interactive web contents to attract online audience. It is easy for anyone to simply copy and modify existing web contents for their own use. A common approach to protecting the copyright of a companys web content is digital watermarking with copyright information. The watermarking technique is a good way to achieve the goal of copyright protection. This paper presents a web page copyright protection method by integrating Cartesian product combination, CSS and HTML tag capitalization method, HTML attribute combination method, HTML attribute quotation mark method, and CSS attribute value embedding method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method success achieved the goal of copyright protection for web pages.
