Digital fingerprinting of multimedia data involves embedding information in the content signal and offers protection to the digital rights of the content by allowing illegitimate usage of the content to be identified by authorized parties. One potential threat to fingerprinting is collusion, whereby a group of adversaries combine their individual copies in an attempt to remove the underlying fi...

As the markets of digital contents over computer networks become more popular, illegal redistribution of contents by a buyer becomes the more serious problem. To deter illegal redistribution, various fingerprinting schemes have been proposed. The fingerprinting schemes enable merchants to embed information which identifies the original buyer to the purchased content. Identifying the original bu...

Advertisers are increasingly turning to fingerprinting techniques to track users across the web. As web browsing activity shifts to mobile platforms, traditional browser fingerprinting techniques become less effective; however, device fingerprinting using built-in sensors offers a new avenue for attack. We study the feasibility of using motion sensors to perform device fingerprinting at scale, ...

background and objectives: traditional polyherbal oils are still in use in persian traditional medicine (ptm). most of these formulations are prepared via traditional procedures such as maceration of herbs in oils or evaporating aqueous herbal extracts in boiling or heating oils as the vehicle. thus, their quality control, standardization and authentication are real challenges due to the lack o...

Coding methods for fingerprinting digital information are considered, with the aim of deterring users from copyright violation. A general model for discrete fingerprinting is presented, along with a simple embedding method for text documents. Different types of attacks are discussed, including attacks from colluding pirates. Some preliminary results are derived for random fingerprinting codes. ...

Fingerprinting protocol applies a watermarking technique to embed a fingerprinting information in a digital content such as music, image, movie, etc.. The cryptographic protocol is studied by many researchers, but how to apply watermarking techniques is not remarked. In this paper, we study the problem to implement the watermarking techniques in the fingerprinting protocol, and then propose an ...

Including a unique code in each copy of a distributed document is an effective way of fighting intellectual piracy. Codes designed for this purpose that are secure against collusion attacks are called fingerprinting codes. In this paper we consider fingerprinting with the marking assumption and design codes that achieve much higher rates than previous constructions. We conjecture that these cod...

Fingerprinting schemes allow tracing of illegally redistributed multimedia contents. When using asymmetric fingerprinting, the merchant does not know the marked copy nor the embedded mark, so fraudulent distribution of the content by the merchant –which could lead to framing honest customers– is not possible. A problem with the deployment of classical asymmetric fingerprinting protocols is that...

Fingerprinting techniques are receiving widespread attention in the field of information security. In this paper we argue that they may be of specific interest for the field of network forensics. In three case studies, we explore the use of fingerprinting techniques to improve and extend current investigative methods and showcase why fingerprinting allows for more target-oriented investigations...
