Abstract :

Even though the transmission and processing speeds of electronic documents have been vastly enhanced, electronic document information may be revealed, counterfeited, tampered with, or otherwise compromised. To maintain corporate success in the marketplace, network security should be essential to the protection of electronic documents. As a result, there is a rising demand for authentication and verification procedures for a variety of important documents, including those used in banking, government, and other transactions as well as certificates and other academic credentials. In recent years, there has been a fast growth of digital watermarking technology, which involves embedding invisible or hidden digital signatures into data without compromising the data's authenticity. Hence, in this paper, we utilize the watermarking technology in the encrypted data using dynamic wavelet transform algorithm to make a document more protected. Now the protected data is sent to cloud database for storage. Integrated digital signature algorithm (SHA-256 + DSA) is proposed in this research to generate digital signature for each document. When recipients download the data, the data is verified for its integrity after extracting the digital signature and encrypted data. This strategy improves record security. We also compare the suggested technique to standard practices and assess its performance based on a variety of indicators to demonstrate its effectiveness.
