Title
Privacy-aware peer-to-peer content distribution using automatically recombined fingerprints
Abstract
Multicast distribution of content is not suited to content-based electronic commerce because all buyers obtain exactly the same copy of the content, in such a way that unlawful redistributors cannot be traced. Unicast distribution has the shortcoming of requiring one connection with each buyer, but it allows the merchant to embed a different serial number in the copy obtained by each buyer, which enables redistributor tracing. Peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution is a third option which may combine some of the advantages of multicast and unicast: on the one hand, the merchant only needs unicast connections with a few seed buyers, who take over the task of further spreading the content; on the other hand, if a proper fingerprinting mechanism is used, unlawful redistributors of the P2P-distributed content can still be traced. In this paper, we propose a novel fingerprinting mechanism for P2P content distribution which allows redistributor tracing, while preserving the privacy of most honest buyers and offering collusion resistance and buyer frameproofness.
