Abstract

This paper proposes a broadcast encryption scheme with traitor tracing based on the ternary tree structure. The subset difference method with ternary tree reduces the communication cost and tracing cost of the original method with the binary tree. However, straightforward expansion of the method ends in failure due to the vulnerability to coalition attacks. Thus, we design a new cover-finding algorithm and label assignment algorithm in order to achieve a coalition-resistant revocation and tracing schemes. Our analysis on efficiency and security shows that our scheme is an improvement of the existing broadcast encryption schemes: complete subtree and subset difference methods.
