Efficient Anonymous Fingerprinting with Group Signatures
نویسنده
چکیده
Fingerprinting schemes enable a merchant to identify the buyer of an illegally distributed digital good by providing each buyer with a slightly different version. Asymmetric fingerprinting schemes further prevent the merchant from framing a buyer by making the fingerprinted version known to the buyer only. In addition, an anonymous fingerprinting scheme allows the buyer to purchase goods without revealing her identity to the merchant. However, as soon as the merchant finds a sold version that has been (illegally) distributed, he is able to retrieve a buyer’s identity and take her to court. This paper proposes a new and more efficient anonymous fingerprinting scheme that uses group signature schemes as a building block. A byproduct of independent interest is an asymmetric fingerprinting scheme that allows so-called two-party trials, which is unmet so far.

Anonymous Fingerprinting with Direct Non-repudiation
Fingerprinting schemes support copyright protection by enabling the merchant of a data item to identify the original buyer of a redistributed copy. In asymmetric schemes, the merchant can also convince an arbiter of this fact. Anonymous fingerprinting schemes enable buyers to purchase digital items anonymously; however, identification is possible if they redistribute the data item. Recently, a ...
متن کاملAnonymous Buyer-Seller Watermarking Protocol wth Additive Homomorphism
Buyer-seller watermarking protocols integrate multimedia watermarking and fingerprinting with cryptography, for copyright protection, piracy tracing, and privacy protection. We propose an efficient buyer-seller watermarking protocol based on dynamic group signatures and additive homomorphism, to provide all the required security properties, namely traceability, anonymity, unlinkability, dispute...
متن کاملEfficient Traceable Signatures in the Standard Model
Traceable signatures (TS), suggested by Kiayias, Tsiounis and Yung (Eurocrypt’04), extend group signatures to address various basic traceability issues beyond merely identifying the anonymous signer of a rogue signature. Namely, they enable the efficient tracing of all signatures produced by a misbehaving party without opening the identity of other parties. They also allow users to provably cla...
متن کاملRobust Anonymous Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting is an essential tool to shun legal buyers of digital content from illegal redistribution. An efficient, anonymous fingerprinting scheme has been proposed by Kuribayashi and Tanaka to provide a secure and efficient protocol for both buyer and merchant [2]. However, the underlying watermarking scheme is based on basic quantization index modulation (QIM). Unfortunately, QIM watermar...
