Abstract
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 techniques against collusion. Many fingerprinting codes are proposed with tracing capability and collusion resistance, such as Traceability (TA) codes and Identifiable Parent Property (IPP) codes. Most of these works treat the important embedding issue in terms of a set of simplified and abstract assumptions, and they do not examine the end-to-end performance of the coded multimedia fingerprinting. In this paper we jointly consider the coding and embedding issues and examine the collusion resistance of coded fingerprinting systems with various code parameters. Our results show that TA codes generally offer better collusion resistance than IPP codes, and a TA code with a larger alphabet size and a longer code length is preferred.
