Fingerprinting is an essential tool to shun legal buyers of digital content from illegal redistribution. In fingerprinting schemes, the merchant embeds the buyer’s identity as a watermark into the content, so that the merchant can retrieve the buyer’s identity when he encounters a redistributed copy. To prevent the merchant from dishonestly embedding the buyer’s identity multiple times, it is e...

The use of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) as molecular marker to identify microbial populations is now routinely used in microbial ecology. One of the strategies herein is cloning of PCR products obtained from environmental DNA to explore the diversity of microbial communities without the need of cultivation. Although successful, this approach is for practical reasons not suited to study the complex dyna...

Publishers of sheet music are generally reluctant in distributing their content via the Internet. Although online sheet music distribution’s advantages are numerous the potential risk of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) infringement, e.g. illegal online distributions, disables any innovation propensity. While active protection techniques only deter external risk factors, additional technology...

Estimation of the location of a Mobile Station accurately is a key requirement to effectively provide a wide range of Location Based Services over mobile networks. Hence developing cellular positioning techniques has been a key research problem, with numerous localization solutions been proposed. These include technologies such as Cell ID, angle and time of arrival methods, statistical methods ...

Digital fingerprinting is a tool to protect multimedia content from illegal redistribution by uniquely marking copies of the content distributed to each user. Collusion attack is a powerful attack whereby several differently-fingerprinted copies of the same content are combined together to attenuate or even remove the fingerprint. Coded fingerprinting is one major category of fingerprinting tec...

One of the most important inventions and development in history human race is forensic science. Without having knowledge science, there would be a great negative effect on society as well judicial system. In contemporary era, science play very role solving crime problem. It provides better opportunities to system for detection criminal. The present India comprise various modes techniques includ...

Recently, intellectual property protection (IPP) techniques attracted a great deal of attention from semiconductor, system integration and software companies. A number of watermarking-based techniques have been proposed for IPP. One of the key limitations of watermarking is that it does not facilitate tracing of illegally resold intellectual property (IP). Fingerprinting resolves this problem b...

This thesis focuses on the design of a robust and secure watermarking technique in the contextof multimedia fingerprinting for traitors tracing; and proposes a complete multimediafingerprinting system. Our work builds on a robust zero-bit watermarking technique `BrokenArrows', and we propose two improvements to make it more robust, especially, to prevent A.Westfeld's denoising a...

We describe a web browser fingerprinting technique based on measuring the onscreen dimensions of font glyphs. Font rendering in web browsers is affected by many factors—browser version, what fonts are installed, and hinting and antialiasing settings, to name a few— that are sources of fingerprintable variation in end-user systems. We show that even the relatively crude tool of measuring glyph b...

Abstract Browser fingerprinting is a stateless tracking technique that aims to combine information exposed by multiple different web APIs create unique identifier for users across the web. Over last decade, trackers have abused several existing and newly proposed further enhance browser fingerprint. Existing approaches are limited detecting specific technique(s) at particular point in time. Thu...
