The invisible data carrier

Sentinel Watermarks™ next generation embedded digital watermarks

Unlike legacy digital watermarks, Sentinel Watermarks use Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Signatures: a NIST-certified, quantum-resistant algorithm (certified by the US Department of Commerce for commercial and military use). This provides the most secure cryptography possible, designed to protect the asset against current and future quantum computing threats.

What are Sentinel Watermarks™?

Sentinel Watermarks™ Are the Next Generation of Digital Watermark Technology

Unlike visible codes (like UPCs or QR codes), a Sentinel Watermark™ is an invisible pattern woven into the fabric of an image, video, or physical product's surface. This pattern carries data - a unique, trackable ID—that is undetectable by the human eye but easily read by computers and phones.

Ubiquitous

Embedded across the entire asset, not just a single point or metadata.

Resilient

Designed to withstand harsh workflows, including distortion, damage, cropping, colorizing, relighting, transcoding, compression and streaming, and post-production workflows.

Immutable

The Sentinel Watermarks are cryptographically secured, making them tamper-proof.

Invisible

The Sentinel Watermarks are invisibly embedded into documents, images, and video, making them totally imperceptible to the human eye and guaranteeing zero degradation to the visual aesthetics of the media.

Performant

Does not utilize computational resources and therefore does not degrade real-time processing or streaming performance. Verified on Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix Service, Hulu and other DTC/SVOD streaming platforms.

Permanent

The Sentinel Watermarks are embedded across the entire asset, cannot be removed, and provide court-admissible forensic evidence for ownership.

Instantaneous Read

The unique ID can be extracted and verified in a mean time of 9 seconds by a phone app or specialized readers for rapid authentication.
