# Echomark Forensic Watermarking Integration

**Date**: 2026-01-12
**Status**: ✅ READY FOR DEPLOYMENT (Requires Echomark API Server)

---

## Overview

The **Echomark Integration** adds forensic watermarking capabilities to the Filevine Document Viewer extension. This allows users to embed invisible, unique watermarks into documents before sharing them, enabling leak tracking and recipient identification.

### Key Features

- ✅ **Inline Protection Buttons**: "Protect" button appears next to PDFs and images in Filevine
- ✅ **Recipient Selection**: Choose recipients manually or from Filevine project contacts
- ✅ **Forensic Watermarking**: Invisible watermarks that survive screenshots, photos, and printing
- ✅ **Multiple Watermark Types**: Image, text, and optional visible watermarks
- ✅ **Configurable Strength**: Subtle to strong watermark robustness
- ✅ **Marking Schema Storage**: IndexedDB storage for leak investigation
- ✅ **Automatic Download**: Watermarked documents download to user's machine
- ✅ **Seamless Integration**: Works across Filevine's document views

---

## How It Works

### User Workflow

```
1. User browses Filevine documents
   ↓
2. Clicks "Protect" button next to PDF/image
   ↓
3. Recipient selection modal appears
   ↓
4. User selects recipient from contacts or enters manually
   ↓
5. User configures watermark options (optional)
   ↓
6. Clicks "Protect Document"
   ↓
7. Extension downloads document from Filevine
   ↓
8. Extension sends to Echomark API for watermarking
   ↓
9. Watermarked document downloads to user's machine
   ↓
10. Marking schema stored for leak investigation
```

## Components

### 1. UI Injector (`src/content/ui-injector.js`)

**Purpose**: Detects supported files and injects "Protect" buttons.

**Key Methods**:

```javascript
supportsEchomark(filename)
  // Returns true for .pdf, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .bmp, .gif

getEchomarkMimeType(filename)
  // Maps file extension to MIME type

createProtectButton(docId, filename, large)
  // Creates styled "Protect" button with shield icon

handleProtectClick(docId, filename, button)
  // Shows recipient modal

handleWatermarkDocument(docId, filename, projectId, recipientData, options)
  // Sends WATERMARK_DOCUMENT message to background
```

**Button Styling**:
- Transparent background
- Maroon border (#800020)
- Shield icon with checkmark
- Hover: Light grey background
- Matches Filevine's design aesthetic

### 2. Recipient Modal (`src/content/recipient-modal.js`)

**Purpose**: UI for selecting recipients and watermark options.

**Features**:

- **Two Input Methods**:
  - **Manual Entry**: Name + email fields
  - **Project Contacts**: Searchable list from Filevine

- **Watermark Options**:
  - Image watermarking (enabled by default)
  - Text watermarking (enabled by default)
  - Visible watermark (optional text overlay)
  - Watermark strength: Auto, Subtle, Balanced, Strong

- **Validation**:
  - Required fields: recipient name, email
  - Email format validation
  - At least one watermarking method enabled

- **Visual Design**:
  - Clean modal with backdrop blur
  - Contact list with avatars and search
  - Responsive checkbox groups
  - Loading states and error handling

**Key Methods**:

```javascript
async show(documentInfo, onConfirm)
  // Shows modal, loads project contacts

async loadProjectContacts(projectId)
  // Fetches contacts via GET_PROJECT_CONTACTS message

handleConfirm()
  // Validates inputs, calls onConfirm callback

hide()
  // Closes modal
```

### 3. Echomark API Client (`src/lib/echomark-client.js`)

**Purpose**: Communicates with Echomark API server.

**Key Methods**:

```javascript
configure(apiUrl, apiToken)
  // Set API server URL and optional bearer token

async markPDF(pdfFile, markOptions)
  // Watermark a PDF document

async markImage(imageFile, mimeType, markOptions)
  // Watermark an image file

async detect(artifact, originals, detectOptions)
  // Investigate leaked document

buildMarkOptions({ recipientId, recipientName, ... })
  // Helper to construct mark options

async testConnection()
  // Health check: GET /health
```

**Configuration**:

```javascript
// Default (local testing)
echomarkClient.configure('http://localhost:5344', null);

// Production (after Echomark meeting)
echomarkClient.configure('https://echomark.company.com:5344', 'bearer_token_here');
```

### 4. Echomark Handler (`src/background/echomark-handler.js`)

**Purpose**: Orchestrates watermarking workflow in background script.

**Workflow**:

```javascript
async watermarkDocument({
  docId,
  projectId,
  filename,
  mimeType,
  recipientData,
  watermarkOptions
})
```

**Steps**:

1. **Download**: Fetch document from Filevine API
2. **Build Options**: Map UI options to Echomark API format
3. **Watermark**: Send to Echomark API
4. **Store Schema**: Save marking schema to IndexedDB
5. **Store Document**: Save watermarked doc to IndexedDB
6. **Download**: Trigger browser download to user's machine

**IndexedDB Stores**:

- `marking_schemas`: Stores marking schema for each watermarked document
  - Indexes: `docId`, `recipientId`, `timestamp`, `originalFilename`

- `watermarked_documents`: Stores watermarked document blobs
  - Indexes: `docId`, `recipientId`, `timestamp`

**Key Methods**:

```javascript
async downloadDocument(docId, projectId, filename, mimeType)
  // Downloads from Filevine using authenticated API

buildMarkOptions(recipientData, watermarkOptions)
  // Maps strength (subtle/balanced/strong) to distortion limits

async storeMarkingSchema(schemaRecord)
  // Saves to marking_schemas IndexedDB store

async storeWatermarkedDocument(docRecord)
  // Saves to watermarked_documents IndexedDB store

async downloadToUser(blob, filename, mimeType)
  // Uses chrome.downloads API to save file

async getMarkingSchemas(docId)
  // Retrieves schemas for leak investigation
```

## Configuration

### Echomark API Server Setup

**Before using this feature**, you need to:

1. **Meet with Echomark** to deploy their API server
2. **Get API URL** (e.g., `https://echomark.yourdomain.com:5344`)
3. **Get Bearer Token** (if authentication is enabled)
4. **Configure in Extension**:

```javascript
// In src/lib/echomark-client.js
export const echomarkClient = new EchomarkClient(
  'https://echomark.yourdomain.com:5344',  // API URL from Echomark
  'your_bearer_token_here'                  // Optional auth token
);
```

**Or** add a settings page to configure dynamically (future enhancement).

### Supported File Types

| File Type | Extensions | Echomark Endpoint | MIME Type |
|-----------|-----------|-------------------|-----------|
| PDF | `.pdf` | `/document/mark/pdf` | `application/pdf` |
| JPEG | `.jpg`, `.jpeg` | `/document/mark/image` | `image/jpeg` |
| PNG | `.png` | `/document/mark/image` | `image/png` |
| TIFF | `.tiff`, `.tif` | `/document/mark/image` | `image/tiff` |
| BMP | `.bmp` | `/document/mark/image` | `image/bmp` |
| GIF | `.gif` | `/document/mark/image` | `image/gif` |

### Watermark Strength Mapping

| UI Setting | Color Distortion | Spatial Distortion | Description |
|------------|-----------------|-------------------|-------------|
| **Subtle** | 2 | 3 | Lower distortion, less robust |
| **Balanced** | 3 | 5 | Good balance (default) |
| **Strong** | 5 | 8 | Higher robustness, more distortion |
| **Auto** | 3 | 5 | Echomark decides (recommended) |

## User Experience

### Scenario 1: Protecting a Document for Sharing

1. User navigates to Filevine project documents
2. User sees "Protect" button next to `settlement_agreement.pdf`
3. User clicks "Protect"
4. **Recipient Modal Opens**:
   - User switches to "Project Contacts" tab
   - User searches for "John Doe"
   - User clicks John Doe's contact card
   - Name and email auto-fill in manual entry fields
   - User reviews watermark options (defaults are good)
   - User clicks "Protect Document"
5. **Processing**:
   - Button shows "⏳ Processing..." with spinner
   - Extension downloads original PDF from Filevine
   - Extension sends to Echomark API
   - Echomark embeds forensic watermark
   - Extension stores marking schema
   - Watermarked PDF downloads to user's machine: `settlement_agreement_protected_john.doe@example.com.pdf`
6. **Success**:
   - Green notification: "Document protected for John Doe"
   - User can share the watermarked document
   - If it leaks, user can investigate using marking schemas

### Scenario 2: Leak Investigation (Future Feature)

*Note: Detection UI not yet implemented*

1. User receives screenshot of leaked document
2. User opens extension investigation panel
3. User uploads leaked artifact (screenshot/photo)
4. Extension retrieves marking schemas from IndexedDB
5. Extension sends artifact + schemas to Echomark `/detect/` endpoint
6. Echomark returns recipient match with confidence score
7. User identifies who leaked the document

## IndexedDB Schema

### Database: `EchomarkDB` (Version 1)

#### Object Store: `marking_schemas`

```javascript
{
  id: 1,                              // Auto-increment primary key
  docId: 12345,                       // Filevine document ID
  projectId: 67890,                   // Filevine project ID
  originalFilename: "contract.pdf",   // Original filename
  recipientId: "john@example.com",    // Recipient identifier
  recipientName: "John Doe",          // Recipient display name
  markingSchema: {                    // From Echomark API
    recipient: "john@example.com",
    watermark_id: "abc123",
    embedding_locations: [...],
    algorithm_version: "2.0.3"
  },
  watermarkOptions: {                 // User's choices
    imageWatermarking: true,
    textWatermarking: true,
    visibleWatermarking: false,
    watermarkStrength: "balanced"
  },
  timestamp: 1736726400000            // Unix timestamp
}
```

**Indexes**:
- `docId`: Find schemas by document
- `recipientId`: Find schemas by recipient
- `timestamp`: Sort by creation date
- `originalFilename`: Search by filename

#### Object Store: `watermarked_documents`

```javascript
{
  id: 1,                                    // Auto-increment primary key
  docId: 12345,                             // Original Filevine doc ID
  projectId: 67890,                         // Filevine project ID
  filename: "contract_protected_john@example.com.pdf",
  recipientId: "john@example.com",
  recipientName: "John Doe",
  blob: Blob,                               // Watermarked document blob
  mimeType: "application/pdf",
  timestamp: 1736726400000
}
```

**Indexes**:
- `docId`: Find watermarked versions of a document
- `recipientId`: Find all documents for a recipient
- `timestamp`: Sort by creation date

---

## Security Considerations

### Data Privacy

- ✅ **Local Processing**: All data stays in browser or customer's Echomark server
- ✅ **No External Tracking**: No data sent to third parties
- ✅ **Authenticated Access**: Requires Filevine authentication
- ✅ **Encrypted Transport**: HTTPS communication with Echomark API
- ❌ **No End-to-End Encryption**: Documents pass through extension in plaintext

### Authentication

- **Filevine API**: Uses existing OAuth tokens or session cookies
- **Echomark API**: Optional bearer token authentication
- **Browser Storage**: IndexedDB is origin-isolated, encrypted at rest by OS

### Permissions Required

```json
{
  "permissions": [
    "storage",       // IndexedDB for marking schemas
    "downloads",     // Download watermarked documents
    "activeTab"      // Access current Filevine tab
  ],
  "host_permissions": [
    "https://*.filevineapp.com/*",     // Filevine API access
    "https://echomark.company.com/*"   // Echomark API access
  ]
}
```

---

## Error Handling

### Common Errors

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| "Not authenticated" | User not logged into Filevine | Log into Filevine, reload extension |
| "Echomark API error (500)" | Echomark server error | Check Echomark server logs |
| "Could not determine project ID" | URL parsing failed | Ensure on Filevine project page |
| "Failed to download document" | Filevine API error | Check network, auth tokens |
| "Expected multipart/form-data response" | Echomark API format issue | Update Echomark server |

### User Notifications

```javascript
// Success
this.showNotification(
  `Document protected for ${recipientName}`,
  'success'
);

// Error
this.showNotification(
  `Failed to protect document: ${error.message}`,
  'error'
);
```

---

2. **Expected**: Modal opens with document info
3. Try manual entry:
   - Enter name and email
   - **Expected**: Validation works
4. Try project contacts:
   - Switch to "Project Contacts" tab
   - **Expected**: Contact list loads
   - Search for contact
   - **Expected**: Filtering works
   - Click contact
   - **Expected**: Fields auto-fill

#### Test 3: Watermarking Workflow

1. Fill in recipient: "Test User" / "test@example.com"
2. Leave watermark options as defaults
3. Click "Protect Document"
4. **Expected**: Button shows "⏳ Processing..."
5. **Expected**: After 5-10 seconds, download starts
6. **Expected**: Green notification: "Document protected for Test User"
7. **Expected**: Downloaded file named: `filename_protected_test@example.com.pdf`

#### Test 4: IndexedDB Storage

---

## Performance

### Metrics

- **Button Injection**: ~10-30ms per document row
- **Modal Rendering**: ~50-100ms
- **Document Download** (from Filevine): ~500ms - 3s (depends on file size)
- **Echomark Watermarking**: ~2-10s (depends on file size and complexity)
- **IndexedDB Storage**: ~10-50ms
- **Browser Download**: ~100-500ms

### Optimization

- **Debounced Injection**: UI injector waits 500ms for DOM to settle
- **Lazy Loading**: Contacts loaded only when modal opens
- **Incremental Updates**: Only inject buttons for new document rows
- **Efficient Storage**: Blobs stored efficiently in IndexedDB

---

## Future Enhancements

### Planned Features

1. **Leak Investigation UI**: Upload leaked artifacts, identify recipients
2. **Settings Page**: Configure Echomark API URL/token in extension UI
3. **Batch Watermarking**: Select multiple documents, watermark all
4. **History View**: See all protected documents and recipients
5. **Context Menu**: Right-click → "Protect with Echomark"
6. **Keyboard Shortcut**: Press 'P' to protect selected document
7. **Email Integration**: Auto-attach watermarked document to email
8. **Audit Logs**: Track all watermarking operations

### Potential Improvements

1. **Streaming Upload**: Stream large files instead of loading entirely in memory
2. **Progress Indicators**: Show percentage for large file processing
3. **Background Processing**: Queue multiple documents for watermarking
4. **Cloud Storage**: Option to store watermarked docs in cloud instead of local download
5. **Template Recipients**: Save frequently-used recipients
6. **Organization-wide Recipients**: Sync recipient list across team

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue 1: "Protect" Buttons Don't Appear

**Symptoms**: No buttons visible on supported files

**Possible Causes**:
1. Content script not loaded
2. Filevine DOM structure changed
3. JavaScript error in UI injector

**Debug Steps**:

```javascript
// 1. Check console for errors
// Open DevTools (F12) → Console
// Look for errors with [UI Injector] prefix

// 2. Manually trigger injection
const baseUrl = chrome.runtime.getURL('');
import(`${baseUrl}src/content/ui-injector.js`).then(module => {
  const injector = new module.UIInjector();
  injector.start();
});

// 3. Check if files are detected
// Look for console logs: "[UI Injector] Injected Protect button"
```

### Issue 2: Modal Doesn't Open

**Symptoms**: Clicking "Protect" does nothing

**Possible Causes**:
1. RecipientModal not loaded
2. JavaScript error in modal code
3. Project ID not detected

**Debug Steps**:

```javascript
// Check console for errors
// Should see: "[UI Injector] Protect Document clicked"
// Should NOT see: "Recipient modal not loaded"

// Check project ID
const match = window.location.pathname.match(/\/project\/(\d+)/i);
console.log('Project ID:', match ? match[1] : 'NOT FOUND');
```

### Issue 3: Watermarking Fails

**Symptoms**: Error notification after clicking "Protect Document"

**Possible Causes**:
1. Echomark API server not running
2. Network error
3. Authentication issue
4. Unsupported file type

**Debug Steps**:

```javascript
// 1. Test Echomark API health
fetch('https://echomark.company.com:5344/health')
  .then(r => r.ok ? console.log('✅ API OK') : console.error('❌ API Error'))
  .catch(e => console.error('❌ Network Error:', e));

// 2. Check background console
// Go to: chrome://extensions/ → "Service worker" link
// Look for errors with [Echomark] prefix

// 3. Check auth state
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'GET_AUTH_STATE' })
  .then(state => console.log('Auth:', state.authenticated))
  .catch(e => console.error('Auth Error:', e));
```

### Issue 4: Wrong Contacts Loaded

**Symptoms**: Contact list shows wrong people

**Possible Causes**:
1. Wrong project ID extracted from URL
2. Filevine API returned wrong contacts
3. Cached data from previous project

**Debug Steps**:

```javascript
// Check project ID
console.log('Current URL:', window.location.href);
const projectId = window.location.pathname.match(/\/project\/(\d+)/i)?.[1];
console.log('Extracted Project ID:', projectId);

// Manually fetch contacts
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
  type: 'GET_PROJECT_CONTACTS',
  projectId: parseInt(projectId)
}).then(result => console.log('Contacts:', result));
```
