The buyer of a legal copy is then deterred from distributing further copies, because the unique fingerprint can be used to trace back the origin of the piracy. The major challenge in fingerprinting is collusion, an attack in which a coalition of pirates compare several of their uniquely fingerprinted copies for the purpose of detecting and removing the fingerprints.

The contributions of this thesis are two-fold. First, this thesis motivates the need for robustness against large coalitions of pirates by introducing the concept of a malicious distributor that has been overlooked in prior work. A novel fingerprinting code that has superior codeword length in comparison to existing work under this novel malicious distributor scenario, is developed. In addition, ideas presented in the proposed ¯ngerprinting design can easily be applied to existing fingerprinting schemes, making them more robust to collusion attacks.

Second, a new framework termed Joint Source Fingerprinting that integrates the
processes of watermarking and codebook design is introduced. The need for this new
paradigm is motivated by the fact that existing ¯ngerprinting methods result in a
perceptually undistorted multimedia after collusion is applied. In contrast, the new
paradigm equates the process of collusion amongst a coalition of pirates, to degrading
the perceptual characteristics, and hence commercial value of the multimedia in ques-
tion. Thus by enforcing that the process of collusion diminishes the commercial value
of the content, the pirates are deterred from attacking the ¯ngerprints. A ¯ngerprint-
ing algorithm for video as well as an e±cient means of broadcasting or distributing
¯ngerprinted video is also presented. Simulation results are provided to verify our
