Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program code readily identifies authenticated content within webpage having user customizable content. A request to display a wiki page is received. Responsive to receiving the request, a wiki markup file with a wiki signature block is identified. The wiki markup file contains signed content and unsigned content. The signature block identifies the signed content within the wiki markup file. Signed content is verified and an edited wiki page is generated from the signed content and the unsigned content. Signed content is visibly distinguished from the unsigned content.

A computer implemented method for readily identifying authenticated content within a document having user customizable content, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request to display a wiki page;
- responsive to receiving the request, identifying a wiki markup file, wherein the wiki markup file contains signed content and unsigned content;
- responsive to receiving the request, identifying a wiki signature block, wherein the wiki signature block identifies the signed content within the wiki markup file;
- responsive to identifying signed content within the wiki markup file, verifying the signed content;
- responsive to verifying the signed content, generating an edited wiki page from the signed content and the unsigned content, wherein the signed content is visibly distinguished from the unsigned content in the edited wiki page;
- and
- displaying the edited wiki page.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable medium having computer program code embodied therewith for readily identifying authenticated content within a document having user customizable content, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code for receiving a request to display a wiki page;
- computer usable program code, responsive to receiving the request, for identifying a wiki markup file, wherein the wiki markup file contains signed content and unsigned content;
- computer usable program code, further responsive to receiving the request, for identifying a wiki signature block, wherein the wiki signature block identifies the signed content within the wiki markup file;
- computer usable program code, responsive to identifying signed content within the wiki markup file, for verifying the signed content;
- computer usable program code, responsive to verifying the signed content, for generating an edited wiki page from the signed content and the unsigned content, wherein the signed content is visibly distinguished from the unsigned content in the edited wiki page.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus;
- a communications unit connected to the bus;
- a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device includes computer usable program code;
- and
- a processor unit connected to the bus, wherein the processor unit executes the computer usable program code to receive a request to display a wiki page, responsive to receiving the request, to identify a wiki markup file, wherein the wiki markup file contains signed content and unsigned content, further responsive to receiving the request, to identify a wiki signature block, wherein the wiki signature block identifies the signed content within the wiki markup file, responsive to identifying signed content within the wiki markup file, to verify the signed content, responsive to verifying the signed content, to generate an edited wiki page from the signed content and the unsigned content, wherein the signed content is visibly distinguished from the unsigned content in the edited wiki page.
