Summary :

In digital content distribution systems, digital watermarking (fingerprinting) technique provides a good solution to avoid illegal copying and has been studied very actively. c-Secure CRT Code is one of the most practical ID coding schemes for such fingerprinting since it is secure against collusion attacks and also secure even though random errors are furthermore added. But its usefulness is decreased in the case that random errors are added because the code length will be longer. In this paper, a new collusion attack with addition of random errors is introduced and show that c-Secure CRT Code is not sufficiently secure against the attack at first. Next, we analyze the problem and propose a new ID coding scheme, Randomized c-Secure CRT Code which overcomes the problem. As a result, this new scheme improves the error tracing probabilities against the proposed attack drastically. This new scheme has the same code length, so this is one of the most responsible fingerprinting codes for content distribution systems.
