Collusion-Resistant Fingerprinting for Multimedia in a Broadcast Channel Environment. (December 2004) William Luh, B.A., University of Toronto Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Deepa Kundur Digital fingerprinting is a method by which a copyright owner can uniquely embed a buyer-dependent, inconspicuous serial number (representing the fingerprint) into every copy of digital data that is legally s...

Wireless LAN (WLAN) location fingerprinting is an important approach for local positioning system, a complementary and alternative technology to the global positioning system (GPS). Fingerprinting is a method of localization that associates individual positions with distinct features and uses them to infer absolute locations of targets. The widespread presence of WLANs (based on IEEE 802.11 sta...

The effect of applying the novel anti-collusion fingerprinting scheme on the knowledge obtained from numeric databases is elaborated in this paper. Here, how the classification statistics are affected after fingerprinting numeric datasets is depicted. Several different classifiers are used for the purpose. This technique is primary key independent and resilient to additive attack. It is found t...

Thwarting unlawful redistribution of information sold electronically is a major problem of information-based electronic commerce. Anonymous fingerprinting has appeared as a technique for copyright protection which is compatible with buyer anonymity in electronic transactions. However, the complexity of known algorithms for anonymous fingerprinting is too high for practical implementation on sta...

background: colibacillosis is one of the most economically important diseases of poultry worldwide. objectives: this study was conducted to examine the clonal relatedness and typing of 95 avian escherichia coli isolates by eric-pcr. methods: sixty-three e. coli isolates from two common manifestations of colibacillosis (yolk sac infection and colisepticemia) and 32 isolates from feces of apparen...

DNA fingerprinting exhibits multilocus genotypes of individuals, detected by the use of a single multilocus probe. Consequently, population data on DNA fingerprinting do not provide a complete characterization of the genetic variation in terms of allele-frequency distributions, since neither the number of loci nor the locus affiliation of alleles is directly observable. Yet DNA fingerprinting h...

In the search for an effective DNA-typing technique for use in hospital epidemiology, the performance and convenience of a novel assay based on the fingerprinting of bacterial genomes by amplification of DNA fragments surrounding rare restriction sites (ADSRRS fingerprinting) was tested. A large number of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREM) isolates from haematological ward patient...

The ability to track users’ activities across different websites and visits is a key tool in advertising and surveillance. The HTML5 DeviceMotion interface creates a new opportunity for such tracking via fingerprinting of smartphone motion sensors. We study the feasibility of carrying out such fingerprinting under real-world constraints and on a large scale. In particular, we collect measuremen...

TCP/IP fingerprinting is a common technique used to detect unique network stack characteristics of an Operating System (OS). Its usage for network compromise is renowned for performing host discovery and in aiding the blackhat to determine a tailored exploit of detected OSs. The honeyd honeynet is able to countermeasure blackhats utilising TCP/IP fingerprinting via host device emulation on a vi...

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...
