Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media that support improved watermarking and fingerprinting of a shared dataset. To illustrate, clustering may be performed on the dataset using initial clustering parameters (e.g., a secret key) to assign each record (e.g., attribute) of the dataset to one of multiple clusters. The secret key may be selected by a user or determined automatically based on the clustering algorithm. After the clustering, the records of each cluster may be selected for embedding a portion of fingerprint data based on one or more security parameters (e.g., a hash function, priority values, even/or selection, etc.). The selected records (or portions thereof) may be replaced with corresponding portions of the fingerprint data to embed the fingerprint data within different records as watermarking. Aspects also include analyzing a dataset to verify whether watermarking is present and to extract a fingerprint.
