Block-wise Codeword Embedding for Reliable Multi-bit Text Watermarking
Multi-bit LLM watermarking can reach 96.5 percent true positives at only 2 percent false positives by separating block-wise message estimation from window-shifting verification.

Record completeness
Claims
BREW achieves a TPR of 0.965 with an FPR of 0.02 under 10% synonym substitution, demonstrating that the high-FPR issue is not an inherent trade-off of multi-bit watermarking, but a solvable structural flaw of prior decoding-centric designs.
The two-stage mechanism of blind message estimation via independent block voting followed by window-shifting verification will rigorously validate the payload against local edits without introducing new failure modes or depending on unstated properties of the underlying LLM distribution.
BREW achieves TPR of 0.965 and FPR of 0.02 under 10% synonym substitution by shifting from ECC decoding to designated verification with block voting and local validation.
