Abstract

This abstract reports work-in-progress on a novel application of a document integrity mechanism, called hashing. The key element of this application is the repeated application of hashing at multiple different levels of the document. This has substantial benefits over the normal application of hashing for document intergrity, because it makes it possible to discover what has been changed in the document, and in some cases, how the document has been changed.
