9. A method comprising:
decoding, by executing instructions with at least one processor, a first bit sequence from a first encoding layer of a multilayered watermark encoded in a media file, the first bit sequence to include a client identifier of a client associated with the media file;
decoding, by executing instructions with the at least one processor, a second bit sequence from a second encoding layer of the multilayered watermark encoded in the media file, the second bit sequence to include a media identifier to identify media corresponding to the media file; and
outputting, by executing instructions with the at least one processor, an indication of at least one of the client identifier or the media identifier.
