Multimedia Fingerprinting Forensics for Traitor Tracing

In this book, we will review a few major design methodologies for collusionresistant fingerprinting ofmultimedia and highlight common and unique issues of various different fingerprinting techniques. The goal is to provide a broad overview of the recent advances in fingerprinting for tracing and identifying colluders. We will first provide background on robust data embedding, upon which multimedia fingerprinting system is built. We will then introduce the basic concepts of fingerprinting and collusion and provide a discussion on the various goals associated with fingerprint design and colluder tracing. Detailed discussions are then provided on twomajor classes of fingerprinting strategies, namely, orthogonal fingerprinting and correlated fingerprinting, where the latter involves the design of suitable codes that are employed with code modulation to create the fingerprints. As part of our discussion, we will arrive at a unified view of fingerprint design that covers orthogonal fingerprints, coded fingerprints, and other correlated fingerprints. After concluding the discussion of fingerprint design methodologies, we will explore two applications of fingerprinting. We will explore the migration of multimedia forensic technologies to networks, whereby the fingerprinting process will be integrated in coremulticast functionality to provide DRM solution suitable for streaming delivery of content. Next, we will examine the protection of a type of multimedia content that has, until recently, been left unprotected by multimedia security solutions. In particular, we will explore the design of fingerprints for digital curves and maps and exploit the unique properties of digital curves in order to devise fingerprinting solutions.
