| Abstract | Digital fingerprinting is a tool to protect multimediacontent from illegal redistribution by uniquely marking
copies of the content distributed to each user.
Fingerprinting based on error correction coding (ECC)
handle the important issue of how to embed the fingerprint
into host data in an abstract way known as the marking
assumptions, which often do not fully account for
multimedia specific issues. In this paper, we examine the
performance of ECC based fingerprinting by considering
both coding and embedding issues. We provide
performance comparison of ECC-based scheme and a
major alternative of orthogonal fingerprinting. As
averaging is a feasible and cost-effective collusion attack
against multimedia fingerprints yet is generally not
considered in the ECC-based system, we also investigate
the resistance against averaging collusion and identify
avenues for improving collusion resistance.
