The Boneh-Shaw fingerprinting scheme is better than we thought

Digital fingerprinting is a forensic method against illegal copying. The distributor marks each individual copy with a unique fingerprint. If an illegal copy appears, it can be traced back to one or more guilty pirates due to this fingerprint. To work against a coalition of several pirates, the fingerprinting scheme must be based on a collusion-secure code. This paper addresses binary collusion-secure codes in the setting of Boneh and Shaw (1995/1998). We prove that the Boneh-Shaw scheme is more efficient than originally proven, and we propose adaptations to further improve the scheme. We also point out some differences between our model and others in the literature. © 2006 IEEE

The boneh-shaw fingerprinting scheme is better than we thought

With a digital fingerprinting scheme a vendor of digital copies of copyrighted material marks each individual copy with a unique fingerprint. If an illegal copy appears, it can be traced back to one or more guilty pirates, due to this fingerprint. Boneh and Shaw have deviced a classic fingerprinting scheme, and several recent papers have designed improvements. In the present paper we make a new error analysis of Boneh and Shaw’s original scheme, and we prove that it is far better than assumed and in fact better than the improvements in some respects
