Patent attributes
A method, system, and computer program product for detecting data tampering with resilient watermarking is provided. The method accesses a first relational data set on a data repository. The first relational data set includes a plurality of data elements. The first relational data set is sorted to generate a first sorted list and a second sorted list of the plurality of data elements. The method generates a watermark from the first sorted list and the second sorted list. The watermark contains a hash corresponding to the first sorted list and the second sorted list of the plurality of data elements. In response to an access request for the first relational data set, the method verifies an integrity of the first relational data set based on the watermark.
